As already in news, Apple is reportedly working on an Augmented Reality (AR) headset for a while now. Earlier rumours hinted that the AR headset will arrive by the end of 2021. That being said, the ongoing pandemic and other engineering constraints have delayed the arrival. The latest development from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the Apple AR headset launch is pushed to late 2022. The analyst also shared some key details of the AR headset in his investor note spotted by MacRumors.
As per analyst Kuo, Apple will probably launch its first AR headset in late 2022. The newest headset will come with a pair of processors to support its high-end capabilities. The high-end processor will be similar to the M1 chip that Apple launched last year for its Mac lineup. The headset will also have a lower-end processor to take care of sensor-related aspects of the device. In addition to this, Kuo stated that the upcoming AR headset will operate independently.

Gurman also stated that “with a broad range of applications Apple’s first headset will be of the mixed reality variety. That means it will have both AR and VR capabilities. While gaming can be done in both environments, virtual reality is what you want for seriously high-performance games with top-tier graphics. For Apple’s first headset, that’s what it’s shooting for: a mixed reality experience that can handle games in high-quality virtual reality with snappy chips and high-end displays.”
