The event starts from the company’s Cupertino, California campus on Monday, June 5th at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET.
The product blends augmented and virtual reality. The VR features will be powered by a pair of bright, 4K screens inside the headset, while the AR functionality will be enabled by the video pass-through mode. The headset has a Digital Crown like the Apple Watch for users to toggle between AR and VR. When in VR, the user is fully immersed. When AR is toggled, content and applications fade back slightly and mix with the real environment surrounding the wearer.
While the headset will debut on Monday, it won’t go on sale for several more months. Internally, the company has discussed release dates ranging from after the iPhone 15 launch to December to early 2024. It has trademarked names suggesting brands ranging from Reality Pro or Reality One to XR Pro, while the operating system itself will be dubbed xrOS.
Some testers have also found the product, which is nearing a development stage called DVT — or Design Validation Testing — to overheat. The device will have advanced videoconferencing and virtual meeting rooms with realistic avatars, ideally making users feel like they’re interacting in the same place, and new collaboration tools via the Freeform app that let users work on virtual whiteboards and go over material together. There are also features to tie into existing Apple devices, such as using the headset as an external monitor.
That M2 Ultra chip could also find its way into the Mac Pro after Apple nixed work on an even more powerful chip that would sit at the high-end of its chip line by doubling the performance of the Ultra component. The Wallet app will get an upgrade as the company pushes deeper into financial services. That could include the app tying deeper into third-party credit cards to show balance information, mirroring the experience of the Apple Card.
