We’ll have to wait a little longer for the Apple Reality Pro!
Nothing is definitive, but most rumors assure that finally Apple will introduce its long-awaited mixed reality glasses, hitherto known as Apple Reality Pro during WWDC23 to be held in June this year. However, this will only be an appetizer, and users interested in paying the nearly $3,000 the device is expected to cost will have to wait several more months.
Although the rumor mill has been constant in the months leading up to the glasses’ supposed launch, this week Power On columnist Mark Gurman pressed on the issue, confirming the price of the glasses.
According to Gourman, the delay between the announcement and the launch, is due to several factors, such as additional testing, production adjustments, or coordination with suppliers and partners. Although the most time will take developing applications for the product.

It is true that For mixed reality headsets to succeed, they’ll need a robust, feature-packed app store., just like the iPhone or Apple Watch. This is necessary to improve the user experience and increase the likelihood of users adopting the new eyewear with a wide selection available at launch.
In the tech environment, it was rumored that Apple would take a risk with the launch of the Apple Reality Pro, despite internal disputes among company employees, over the appropriateness of the launch.
However, it is believed to be just a first bet, while in parallel the company is working on a more affordable version which could arrive in three or four years.
But pending a launch during the WWDC23 keynote, it’s believed that Apple will unveil augmented reality and virtual reality glasses equipped with LiDAR scanners, Sony micro OLED displays and camera sensors that detect facial expressions, equipped with an operating system called xrOS, which was first discovered in the second beta version of iOS 15.4.
