![]() ![]() Bloomberg reports that we shouldn't expect to see significant changes to the Apple Watch this year. This year, however, we may see a more modest update than usual. Like clockwork, Apple typically releases new Apple Watch models alongside its new iPhones in the fall. The Apple Watch Ultra (left) and Apple Watch Series 8 both launched last year. But there's an expectation that Apple's first VR product could popularize the technology, since the company has a long track record of doing so with other products. Tech giants from Meta to Sony to Microsoft have all tried their hand at virtual or augmented reality. Although Bloomberg reported that Apple could introduce the headset in June, a tweet from Kuo suggests mass production of the device may have been delayed. Expect it to be powered by Apple's M2 chip, which can be found in its current MacBook lineup, the report says. The device could cost $3,000 and will run on a new type of software that's essentially a 3D version of the iPhone's interface, Bloomberg reports. The headset is expected to blend elements of augmented reality, which lays digital graphics over real-world environments similar to the smartphone game Pokemon Go, and virtual reality, which envelopes users in 360-degree graphics like the $400 Meta Quest 2.īut don't expect Apple's headset to come cheap. James Martin/CNETĪpple's long-anticipated mixed-reality headset could finally make its debut in June, according to Bloomberg, marking Apple's first major expansion into a new product category since the Apple Watch.

At the same time, Apple could add more features to the iPhone 15 Pro that differentiate it from the base models. Still, it's unclear whether Apple will fully embrace the transition to USB-C across the entire iPhone 15 lineup, or if it will make a region-specific model for Europe.Īnother potential update could include the Dynamic Island's arrival on standard non-Pro iPhone 15 models, Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, tweeted in September.
