Apple's rumoured AR headset tipped to enter mass production in Q2 2022

We might be seeing Apple's augmented reality headset soon. A new translated report from the Taiwanese version of DigiTimes claims the headset will enter mass production in the second quarter of 2022, with a launch expected between the third and fourth quarter of the same year. And you can expect to pay a hefty price, somewhere between US$2,000 and $3,000.

The new report says Apple's AR headset has completed its second phase of prototype testing. This first iteration of the AR headset is expected to be on the bulky side, similar to the Oculus Rift headset. But we should expect to see the sleeker "Apple Glasses" soon.
