Apple's first 'augmented reality' product appears on-track for 2020 launch, tech analyst says
The Apple logo is illuminated in the entrance to the Fifth Avenue Apple store, in New York, Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2013. According to a notable tech analyst who has a history reporting on Apple developments, the company could be mass producing their first AR product -- either a set of glasses or headset -- as soon as the fourth quarter of this year, as reported by 9To5Mac.
On Friday, Taiwan-based long-time Apple-focused analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that Apple's first AR product that has been rumored since 2017 will most likely go into production during the fourth quarter of this year.
This type of system design could enable the AR device to be far more lightweight than headsets like Microsoft's HoloLens or the Oculus Rift since a great deal of the unit's brainpower is simply coming from a smartphone rather than it being integrated into the wearable. On the other hand, those who aren't Apple users will be out of luck.reported back in November of 2017, the AR product's 2020 launch looks promising if all continues to progress according to plan.
