Could Apple’s mixed reality headset release in January 2023?
Live MintAccording to respected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple's long-rumoured mixed reality headset, which will reportedly offer a mix of virtual and augmented reality experiences, "will likely launch in January 2023." In a new analyst note from 9to5Mac, Kuo states that the headset is "the most complicated product Apple has ever created," but that its launch could help spur "rapid growth" in the head-mounted display market. This is far from the first time Kuo predicted Apple's headset could release, but previous predictions have had far more expansive release windows. The company's board of directors reportedly tested the headset in early May, mentions of the headset's RealityOS software appear in Apple code and appear in trademarked apps, and Apple CEO Tim Cook said he recently teased upcoming augmented reality announcements.
