Apple VR, AR headset rumors: Release date, price, Wi-Fi 6 support and more

The VR headset may be a ‘Pro’ device

Recent reports, including those from Bloomberg and The Information, say the VR headset would likely be so expensive, and powerful, that it would aim for a limited crowd rather than the mainstream. If so, it could target the same business/creative zone that more advanced VR headsets like the Varjo XR-3 are aiming for.

The headset, according to the The Information, will have 8K displays, an array of cameras for tracking the outside world, plus eye tracking and swappable headbands that could offer extra battery life or spatial audio. 

Varjo’s hardware could very well be a roadmap: It has a much higher-resolution display (which Apple is apparently aiming for), can blend AR and VR into mixed reality, and is designed for pro-level creative tools.
