Apple\u2019s getting ready to launch its long-rumored mixed reality headset this spring, according to a report from Bloomberg<\/em>\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a>. The company\u2019s reportedly planning to reveal the device ahead of the Worldwide Developers Conference in June and will start shipping it this fall.<\/p>\n

The headset, which could cost as much as $3,000<\/a>, is expected to provide both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences using Apple\u2019s new xrOS operating system. Gurman says Apple has already shown off the Reality Pro-branded device<\/a> to \u201ca small number of high-profile\u201d developers so they can start creating third-party apps for it.<\/p>\n

Gurman\u2019s prediction corroborates rumors from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo<\/a>, who said last week that the development of the headset is delayed \u201cdue to issues with mechanical component drop testing and the availability of software development tools.\u201d He added that it \u201cseems more likely\u201d that Apple will announce the headset at a media event in the spring or at WWDC.<\/p>\n

\n

In recent months, numerous reports have emerged about the headset\u2019s potential capabilities, including iris scanning for logins and payments<\/a> and a physical dial that will let you switch out<\/a> of VR. According to a report from The Information<\/em><\/a>, it could also feature an AirPods Pro integration that can enable \u201can ultra-low-latency mode\u201d when wearing the earbuds with the headset. It may also focus more on work rather than gaming, sort of like the $1,499 Meta Quest Pro<\/a>, and might not come with a gaming controller.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But there are still \u201cmany kinks to work out\u201d with the device\u2019s hardware, software, and services, Gurman says, and this is slowing down Apple\u2019s other projects. We may see a more low-key year for new releases as a result, and it also may be why Apple missed its goal of transitioning away<\/a> from Intel-powered chips within two years.<\/p>\n

\n

Now, Apple\u2019s expected to release a new lineup of MacBook Pros<\/a> with marginal improvements this year, along with a 15-inch MacBook Air<\/a>, and a new Mac Pro that will no longer come with the option<\/a> for an M2 \u201cExtreme\u201d chip<\/a> with 48 CPU cores and 152 graphics cores. Apple\u2019s instead planning to release a Mac Pro variation with the M2 Ultra chip that eliminates user-upgradeable RAM, as Gurman notes that \u201cthe\u00a0memory is tied directly to the M2 Ultra\u2019s motherboard.\u201d It could also ship with a design that\u2019s \u201cidentical\u201d to the $5,999 2019 model<\/a>, which doesn\u2019t make it much more attractive than the far cheaper (and far less bulky) $1,999 Mac Studio<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Apple\u2019s also expected to reveal a new HomePod this year, but Gurman says not to \u201cexpect anything revolutionary about it.\u201d It may just come with a lower price, an updated touch control panel, and an S8 chip. Other devices, like an updated 24-inch iMac and a new round of iPad Pros equipped with OLED displays, aren\u2019t expected to arrive until next year, while iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 could feature more subdued upgrades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
