App Store Connect Hints at xrOS as Name of Apple's Headset Software

The rotation of Apple devices is incredible. They will definitely try to do the same with this at an extremely high price.

I would faster buy Sony VR2 … at least they bet on their media/console for 10 years or so … VR2 just came out after 7 years of VR1 and the later is still in play. Now 3k for Apple VR for VR2 in two years or less? … lolol milking much?

but vr2 can't play vr1 games. whatever apple makes will likely allow you to use previous gen software unlike sony.

I’ll bet $100 that Apple will be using the term “Extended Reality” instead of “Augmented Reality“ like everyone else.

I'd like "expanded reality" - you know, like LSD 😂

Well vr1 plays on PS5 as well as the games. So vr1 owners just keep both vr1 and vr2 goggles.

Now as for Apple approach, at 3k compared with 5 hundred they better. I wonder if this first “test” version is at 3k … how much will cost the regular consumer version next year … 1.5K? This not the way … ar least it was not the way of either the iPhone and the iPad when launched with Steve Jobs at the helm.

TC seams to have lost touch with the reality of people using public transports, the common man and woman that put themselves in dept to give Apple billions in return for the iPhone, it will bite Apple in the long run as MS was bitten. No worries though, they have plenty of money to the self inflicted TC bullets and marketing to smooth the blow. I suspect that phenomena will not happen again anytime soon, much less for VR in a time of War. The HomePod and the AirPods Max were lessons in a time of peace they seam to have not learned yet.

If it comes as the rumours say, they are just following the same Microsoft footsteps when they launched their goggles years back ... where are those goggles now?

Anyway, their biggest problem is AI, not VR … they aren’t even on the wave much less riding it.

Pretty clever way to trick the system. Seems like the headset really is going to happen this time.
