The delay would be due to bugs and other changes in your operating system.
Ming Chi Kuo, Apple’s popular analyst, recently announced that the Cupertino company’s augmented reality and virtual reality glasses were again delayed after making it due to design issues. On this occasion, the delay was allegedly caused by software errors.
Last week we were talking about how the “rOS” operating system was renamed “xrOS” to set the reference to “Extended Reality Operating System”. Well, apparently Apple has already encountered the first operating system errors and these have caused another delay
As Ming Chi Kuo reports (via 9to5mac), Apple could have delayed the launch of mixed reality glasses to the second half of 2023 to troubleshoot any operating system issues. Previously, the analyst assured that Apple’s glasses will be presented in the second quarter of next year.
Bugs and internal problems in “xrOS” delay the launch of Apple Glasses
Although augmented reality and mixed reality glasses won’t hit the market until the end of 2023, it’s likely that the company with the bitten apple logo will introduce its helmet
Let’s remember what happened, for example, with the AirPower wireless charger. Apple presented this product in 2018 without it even entering the production phase, although after many delays the project was finally canceled in favor of the MagSafe Duo.
Either way, Ming Chi Kuo thinks too early an introduction of augmented reality and virtual reality glasses could negatively affect your sales.
“It remains to be determined whether the launch event (previously estimated for January 2023) will also be delayed, but generally, if the delay between the event and the end of mass production is too long, it would be detrimental to your promotion. and your results.” sales.”
To which he added that it is expected that the mass production of mixed reality glasses will gradually become widespread. Their estimates indicate that Apple will manufacture “less than 500,000 units” in 2023. However, other analysts estimate that Apple could manufacture between 800,000 and 1,200,000 units of helmets over the next year.
Apple’s glasses operating system will take inspiration from a three-dimensional world with services like Maps directions, FaceTime video calling, virtual reality messaging and other visual effects experiences.
