Apple\u2019s highly anticipated mixed-reality headset could be unveiled just ahead of the company\u2019s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s headset, expected to be called \u201cReality Pro,\u201d will likely offer virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) capabilities so wearers can immerse themselves in a virtual world or have digital data overlaid onto real-world, real-time imagery.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman \u2014 a reporter with a decent track record when it comes to Apple forecasts \u2014 said on Sunday<\/a> that following a string of postponements with the device since Apple decided to start developing it some five years ago, the tech giant is currently \u201caiming to unveil it this spring ahead of the annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June.\u201d<\/p>\n

This jibes with comments late last week<\/a> from the usually reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo whose contacts in Apple\u2019s supply chain have led him to believe that the device will go on sale either late in the second quarter or possibly sometime in the third quarter, meaning July through September.<\/p>\n

In other words, unveiling it in the spring would give Apple enough time to launch a massive marketing campaign ahead of a sales drive several months later.<\/p>\n

And Kuo, like Gurman, also believes that Apple will hold an unveiling event for the mixed-reality headset in the spring, possibly during or just ahead of the WWDC event.<\/p>\n

Gurman\u2019s report also claims that Apple has already handed the headset to a \u201csmall number of high-profile software developers\u201d for testing, and so they can start creating third-party apps for the device. His report adds that the headset\u2019s operating system is dubbed \u201cBorealis\u201d inside the company, but will be marketed as \u201cxrOS.\u201d<\/p>\n

More recently, Apple had been expected to unveil the headset at an event this month before starting shipments somewhere around April through June. But due to what Kuo said were \u201cissues with mechanical component drop testing and the availability of software development tools,\u201d Apple engineers needed more time to deal with the challenges and the company now appears to be aiming for the spring unveil before shipping the device several months later.<\/p>\n

Whatever happens, it really does finally look as if 2023 will be the year in which Apple brings its long-awaited mixed-reality headset to market. Gurman adds that the company is \u201cbanking on the product as its hot new introduction for this year.\u201d We can\u2019t wait to see it.<\/p>\n
