Apple CEO Tim Cook believes that AR will be bigger than the iPhone, but building a device won't be easy

Firstpost  

While most of the buzz in the technology space surrounds virtual reality, Apple appears to be focussing entirely on augmented reality. Reports suggest that Apple thinks AR is ‘the next big thing’. The closest anyone has come to an AR experience for the masses is Niantic with Pokémon Go, though even that isn’t a very good example of the true potential of AR. Judging by Apple’s hiring trends, Apple’s real work on AR only started in 2015, when it hired Mike Rockwell to head its AR division. Rockwell ran the ‘new hardware and new technology group’ at Dolby and also consulted for a firm that sold AR headsets before joining Apple.
