The headset is expected to be a reliable and impressive piece of kit, with a ski goggle-style design and support for both VR and AR. It will come with an external battery pack, and sources suggest that it will retail at around $3,000 / £3,000 / AU$5,000. While this is a high asking price, Apple is banking on its strong library of software to make a difference and entice consumers to invest in the product.
In conclusion, Apple’s entry into the AR and VR space is another bold move by the tech giant, but the success of the VR headset remains to be seen. With the launch of the headset at WWDC, Apple will be hoping that it will prove popular with consumers and pave the way for further developments in this area.
