You're calling 1/2 a million sales in 1 quarter niche? Any company would die to have this amount of sales for this short a period. Just like the iPad is niche and the Apple TV is a school project? Sometimes the guff is even too much for me 🤦♂️
Seriously, this is a rumor site. The whole point is to report on things that are only partially known. It also isn’t made up. There are very real developments in the supply chain related to the product. You seem to weirdly be conflating this with politics. The commonly reported issue in society/media is activist narratives (the so-called fake news), but that isn’t an issue at an apolitical site like this.
Why complicate things?
I’m sorry but how can anyone disagree with this. This is fact. Apple AR headset has supposed to be in development since 2015. It’s nearly 10 years later and it’s still not shown. Not only that AR was the big revolution in the camera in 2017, fast forward to the last 4 conferences they don’t show any AR with the camera on stage when shown off the iPhone , AR had guys on stage shown off Lego and shopping experiences now it’s all about the picture quality with camera and way to improve the lighting. All of apples conferences since 2020 have focused on general public messaging , home pod mini , Apple Music , social media add ins, more ways to interact with texts etc. they now focus the iPad Pro and Mac Pro to high end users. If people are actually disagreeing with this then they aren’t apple fans or watch the actual conference. 2023 we will hear that AR is now 2024 … just look at VR and AR across the boarder more companies are leaving it in dust and
fake news is rumours lol 😂 it’s just a fancy word used by media. Fake news = rumours, and this is not the only website that’s posting about AR and it’s OS and you can’t just start by saying this is a rumour site and then claim it’s real. There is no proof , it’s all just a bunch of internet people claiming they have a source. No one has seen it , no one has tested it , no one has development kits , app developers don’t even have it, it’s not in my code for upcoming software or anything. This AR crap has been doing the rounds since 2015 , when VR started to hit. News flash apple don’t even mention AR with their cameras on the iPhone anymore at conferences .. so that just tells you it’s BS news. A rumour site posting a rumour that’s supposed to be real .. yeah cause that’s legit
I am tired of Ming-Chi Kuo's assumptions. years ago he was good. now not so much!
Exactly. This is a long game. Apple invested significantly more in this than the Apple Watch. It will be a mass volume product eventually. This is one of those technologies that will eventually bankrupt companies caught sleeping behind the wheel much like what happened to blackberry. In 10 years we may see companies that didn’t invest in this space lose relevance.
An AR headset will need pretty much the same suite of sensors. The biggest issue with see-through AR right now is that it has a much lower field of view, and of course, lower contrast, since you can't make an image darker than the environment around you.
Anytime someone mentions the displays being a "couple of inches" or "a few centimeters" away from the eyes as a problem, it shows me that they have no idea how VR/AR works. When viewing a virtual reconstruction of a real environment, everything in the reconstruction looks like it's at the same distance as the real equivalent.
That's because phone/tablet "AR" isn't a good experience. I've spent well over 1000 hours in VR. I've spent maybe 5 hours total playing AR experiences on phones and tablets.
ehh to be fair, there were plenty of rumors before SJ unveiled it. a lot of which became true:
Thats fairly close to their competition. Look at the prices for Magic Leap 2 from their online store
List USD $3,299.00 to $4,999.00
Given the medical usage they pitch along with business uses, its not going to be a tech toy.
Shop Magic Leap

Don't get me wrong, this assumption is compared to other high-end, the likes of Magic-Leap, which is clearly mentioned by @Realityck, which is what I think Apple's direction could possibly be.
iPhone yeah he’s pretty much good simple because manufactures and apple themselves let things out like phone shape etc to gain an insight into how it will sell. All business leak things to media or suppliers. But the whole AR/VR stuff is just a joke now, it’s like the apple car too. Ended up just a revamped apple car play, AR and VR are not on apples radar until it becomes mainstream, apple have always been late to the party and take things and make it work.
AR and VR are small market , it’s not main stream. General public don’t want to sit with headsets on watching and doing things with VR and people don’t want to sit and use AR on their phones they would rather make daft tik tok videos and take selfies or call people and WhatsApp people. It’s actually hilarious that people on this site believe these “ rumours “ as if it is legit breaking news. apples confrenve will happen in June and there will be no AR news , then the stories will start for a conference in September, again no news , then an October/November event and there will be no AR news. AR and VR is like 3D .. honestly maybe people should get off this site and actually look at what’s infront of them or better yet watch what apple have been announcing the last 3 years and you can clearly see the direction they are going and products they are not going to introduce
That might be true but when has Apple ever taken that approach with a new product? The Apple 1 wasn't really geared towards "professionals". The original Mac wasn't geared towards professionals. The iMac, iBook, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and more weren't geared towards professionals. The first computers with the M1 weren't the high end "pro" devices.
Apple have dropped the VR and AR experience , since 2019 they stopped mentioning it at their phone conference , they didn’t even discuss AR with the iPads with M chips. Meta are pulling out of the VR space and Sony are building PSVR 2 to a limit number behind a Sony pay wall and not even selling it to general public through general stores. VR and AR are slowly dying they are aiming VR at buisness to help them with things not general public. Apple are not making VR or AR cause their audience has shifted not only that the market trends have shifted and more and more people are using the phones for simple tasks and more social media. Just look at IOS 16 and iPad 16 the OS is aimed at multi tasking and focus on east of use and integration with work. The mac is now going to way to interact with the phone and allow easy communication with apps and devices and soggily
there is no SDK at all, it’s made up rumours by this site. Honestly it’s actually laughable that you lot are gullible and believe this. Since 2015 the SDK was supposed to be in developers hands, since 2015 AR was going to be announced for next year. It’s now late 2023 so that means it will be the same story next year
