Apple's Development of the AR/VR Headset

The Apple Reality Pro is expected to be unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) scheduled for June 5 to 9, 2023. This event serves as a platform for Apple to showcase its latest software and hardware innovations to developers and the wider tech community.

The anticipation surrounding the announcement of the AR/VR headset has been building for years, as rumors of Apple's foray into this space have circulated since 2018.

According to reports, Apple executives have been given previews of the device since 2018, indicating that the company has been working on its mixed-reality headset for quite some time.

Recent comments from employees and others that have previewed the AR/VR device said that it was a "promising device," but would be available for a hefty price.
