The delay in launching the VR headset is due to Apple’s commitment to getting the technology right and not compromising on quality. The company is renowned for its high standards and attention to detail, and it is likely that the VR headset will reflect this. However, the delayed launch means that Apple will face production issues, with mass production not expected to start until December.
While other companies such as HTC have no problems manufacturing VR headsets, it is an interesting market for Apple to enter as AR and VR have not yet gone mainstream. The success of the headset will be a test of whether or not consumers want this type of hardware, and whether there is a killer application or game for AR or VR that makes the headset a must-buy.
