AR glasses are years away because of a boatload of technological limitations
In the free version of Mark Gurman’s ‘Power On’ newsletter, the Bloomberg reporter talks about Apple’s AR glasses, saying that this wearable is far from launching in a few years because of the following reasons: The first AR headset’s mass production phase is expected to happen in March 2023, after which Apple has two additional headset models in the pipeline. Only after those releases can we get hyped for the AR glasses. Also, we are bound to see multiple improvements on successive headsets before Apple ever intends to launch a pair of AR-powered spectacles for the masses. Due to this reason, Gurman believes that the company will proceed to launch a ‘stopgap’ product. We also do not have an idea about the kind of software slated to run on these rumored AR glasses. With the AR headset expected to run on xrOS, the glasses could run on a variant of this operating system or the same thing. So far, very little information is known about this product, likely because it is still in the prototype development stage. Do you think Apple should wait to launch its first pair of smart glasses? Tell us in the comments.
