Apple is working on at least three augmented reality and virtual reality headsets, the first of which will likely be called “Apple Reality Pro.”
In the latest edition of his “Power On” newsletter explained Mark Gurman said that, to his knowledge, at least three Apple headsets, codenamed "N301," "N602," and "N421," are in development. The first of these devices, the N301, will be called the "Apple Reality Pro," according to Gurman. Apple Reality Pro is said to be the "high-end competitor" to Meta's upcoming Quest Pro headset. The N602 is reportedly the successor to the first Apple Reality Pro headset and may be offered at a lower price. The N421 is Apple's augmented reality headset, which has long been speculated about, although Gurman noted that it may not arrive on the market for some time.
Apple Reality Pro could cost around $3,000
Gurman's latest report is the first concrete hint at what Apple's first headset product might be called. Interestingly, the name "Reality Pro" aligns with Apple's recent trademark filings. Last week, Bloomberg reportedApple has registered several trademarks associated with its upcoming headset devices, including "Reality Processor," "Reality Pro," and "Reality One." According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to unveil its first headset as early as January of next year. Possible features include two 4K micro-OLED displays, 15 optical modules, two main processors, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, eye tracking, object tracking, and hand gesture control. The approximate price of the device is still unclear. However, some reports suggest that the first product could cost around $3,000. (Photo by Andrey Suslov / Bigstockphoto)
