Gurman: The metaverse will be the "no-go zone" for Apple's AR/VR headsets

IT House News on January 9, the latest news shows that Apple's VR and AR headsets are not suitable for long-term use, and it is reported that Apple is not involved in the so-called "meta-universe" vision, but only focuses on short-term VR experiences.

According to Mark Gurman's "Power On" newsletter, Apple had considered the metaverse realm but tried to avoid it. "I was told that the idea of users escaping into a completely virtual world is similar to Meta's vision of the future – it's a no-go zone for Apple."

Apple did not design its headset to be "worn all day", but intended to use it for a shorter period of "whim".

IT Home understands that the current industry speculation is that Apple is ready to launch its first headset device at the end of 2022, but the number is very limited and expensive.

Judging from previous predictions and revelations, it will use lightweight materials, an ultra-high-end on-board processing system with M1 performance, and a Volkswagen auxiliary processor to process sensor data, which is rumored to be between $1,000 and $3,000 (about 19,170 yuan).
