Today we have a new round of rumors about the apple virtual reality glasses, however, on this occasion the source is none other than Bloomberg, so we must take all these details into account, since the medium through its editor Mark Gurman is usually a very reliable source of apple rumors. And what's new?
Very special glasses
Probably the idea you had in mind is that the virtual reality glasses Apple is going to be a rather special product that may not be available to everyone, and that is just what the latest information from Gurman seems to confirm. According to the famous informant, the glasses that are being designed in Cupertino are reaching a level of technical development that it will raise its price a lot and will position it as an extremely advanced product.
Some glasses and a headset
It is important to clarify that there are currently two ideas on Apple's laboratory table. On the one hand, there is the headset that is closest to what we know today as virtual reality glasses. This model in an advanced prototyping state is called the N301, and as an interesting detail, it seems to have a fan, something quite unthinkable in today's Apple architecture. We imagine that it will be due to its early state, or that it will simply be rejected to make way for another model.
On the other hand are the augmented reality glasses, called N421, which do look like traditional sunglasses, to be exact. Given the complexity of the design, its development will require much more time, and for now it is still in a design and pre-development phase, so the supposed date of 2023 that previously sounded could even be delayed.
It will not be a product for all audiences
Due to this, the product could be placed as an accessory for a very specific audience, a niche between professionals and very enthusiastic consumers who are willing to pay their price. According to sources related to the project, these glasses will be the first to inaugurate a new high-end augmented reality sector, since it has very ambitious technology that is costing a lot to develop.
That said, do not expect to find glasses in large quantities in all Apple Stores, everything indicates that we will be dealing with a very specific product and with limited production.
A first step towards a new future
The idea is more of a product with which to engender a new family of devices, a new way of consuming technology. The idea is extremely ambitious, hence the patience and care they are taking with the development of this team. In addition, taking into account that it will be able to offer everything that is possible to offer technologically speaking, developers will have no limits when it comes to creating new ideas, which is why it is expected that a new generation of games, applications and, ultimately, will be born from here. , experiences.
The idea is that, in the three-dimensional plane, the equipment serves to Play games, use applications, consume videos and communicate, and on the augmented reality side, the overlay of images on top of the real world perspective will bring new features to life.
How much are they going to cost?
As expected, it is still too early to calculate the price of Apple's virtual reality glasses, however, some experts are already predicting the price range that will be around. We must start from the fact that the current market options cover the range from 300 to 1.200 euros, so if we take into account that the Apple model will be "very expensive", it is to be expected that its label will easily exceed 2.000 and the 3.000 euros.
The first estimates bring the product closer to the same level as Mac computers for professionals, which usually sell 1 unit per day per store. With that in mind, the price could rise even higher, so we'll see what a surprise these long-awaited glasses give us. Of course, do not expect them soon, the idea is that they appear on the scene at some point in 2022.
