Earlier this week, whenWWDC 2023was officially announced, the tech world shared collective anticipation. This event, it was widely believed, would be where the Reality Pro was finally unveiled to the public, after numerous internal demonstrations.
But that no longer looks to be the case. According to respected tech tipster,Ming-Chi Kuo, the Reality Pro headset is suffering from further delays, which could push any launch event back to later in the year.
There’s a myriad of reasons given for why. Concerns over some compromises made to achieve mass production, as well as the readiness of the ecosystem and relevant apps have all played a part, as has the wider economic situation. In short, Apple wants the Reality Pro to have its owniPhonemoment, and it doesn’t appear to be the right time for that to happen.
And that’s okay. Sure, we’d all love to see it unveiled soon. Many people are hoping it will revolutionise the world ofVR headsets, which have so far been fun, but haven’t quite hit the point of mass public appeal.
I’m less convinced that the Reality Pro headset will do that. Expected to retail at around $3,000, it’s going to be a tough sell for most people, though future models in the works are said to address the cost of entry.
