While rumors of Apple’s highly anticipated VR AR headset have been around for some time now, we’ve seen more and more reports about it lately. Earlier this year, Ming-Chi Kuo indicated that Apple could launch its AR VR headset in 2022. And now, a recent report from Kuo suggests that the Cupertino giant is aiming to launch the AR headset in the second quarter of 2022. As MacRumors reports, Kuo sent out a research report on the outlook for Genius Electronic Optical, a key component supplier for Apple. In the statement, Kuo says the vendor will likely benefit from a range of AR and VR devices that companies like Facebook, Sony, and Apple plan to launch in the coming years.
In addition to this statement, the analyst also predicts that Apple will finally launch its AR HMD head-mounted display devices in the second quarter of 2022. Kuo had initially been expected that Apple would launch this device in 2021.
