We have been hearing rumors about the new Apple AR Headset or Apple Glasses for some time, and according to a recent report, they are coming in 2020.
In the latest research note from Ming-Chi Kuo, it has been revealed that Apple is planning to launch their new AR headset in the second quarter of 2020. This aligns with Apple’s ongoing efforts to innovate in the augmented reality space, a field they have been exploring through software like ARKit, which allows developers to create AR experiences for iOS devices.
Apple’s AR Ambitions
Apple’s foray into augmented reality is not just about hardware; it’s about creating a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates seamlessly with their existing products. The AR headset is expected to work in tandem with iPhones, leveraging their processing power and connectivity. This could mean that the headset itself might be lightweight and comfortable, as it won’t need to house all the necessary computing components.
Moreover, the potential applications for Apple’s AR headset are vast. From gaming and entertainment to education and professional use, augmented reality can transform how we interact with digital content. Imagine virtual meetings where participants appear as holograms in your living room, or educational apps that bring historical events to life right before your eyes.
Upcoming Apple Products
Apple will also be launching the new iPhone SE 2 early next year. This handset is expected to launch in the first quarter and is said to feature a design similar to Apple’s iPhone 8. The iPhone SE 2 is anticipated to cater to users who prefer a smaller, more affordable iPhone without compromising on performance. It is rumored to include the A13 Bionic chip, which powers the iPhone 11 series, ensuring it delivers top-notch performance.
In addition to the iPhone SE 2, Apple will apparently also launch two new iPad Pro tablets in the first quarter of 2020. Initially, there were expectations that these devices would be announced this year, possibly at a press event in October. However, it seems the launch has been pushed to early next year. The new iPad Pros are expected to feature upgraded cameras and possibly a new 3D sensing technology, enhancing their AR capabilities and making them even more powerful tools for creative professionals.
It will be interesting to find out more details about Apple’s first AR device. The company will apparently be partnering with a range of third-party brands for its launch. This collaboration could mean a variety of accessories and applications designed to enhance the AR experience, from specialized lenses to custom software solutions.
Apple’s strategy of partnering with third-party brands is not new. They have previously collaborated with companies like Nike for the Apple Watch and Logitech for iPad accessories. These partnerships allow Apple to offer a more diverse range of products and services, catering to different user needs and preferences.
As we await the official announcements, it’s clear that 2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Apple fans. With the launch of the AR headset, iPhone SE 2, and new iPad Pros, Apple continues to push the boundaries of technology and innovation.
