• Apple faces a series of headwinds, including the nascent state of the components needed for such devices and a tech world whose attention has largely shifted from the metaverse towards AI, thanks to the arrival of ChatGPT.
• Apple’s first mixed reality headset could be a make-or-break moment for VR and AR, as this is the biggest launch for the company since the original Apple Watch in 2015.
• It’s worth noting that the VR/AR headset is totally different from the rumored Apple Glasses. Those are said to be purely AR-focused and aren’t likely to arrive anytime soon. Meanwhile, the VR/AR headset could be here as soon as the June 5 WWDC keynote. Once it arrives, Apple’s gear is likely to compete with the Meta Quest 3, PSVR 2 and all the other best VR headsets.
