The scoop comes from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a reliable source on all things Apple. Kuo says that shipments for the first-generation Apple AR/MR headset are going to be very low in volume. Previous rumors pointed toward just 0.7 million units being shipped.
Despite the alleged $3,000 price tag, it’s also possible that these 0.7 million headsets won’t actually bring a profit. This is because of the powerful hardware they’re supposedly equipped with, as well as the exclusive sales model that means the headset won’t be readily available.
Despite still being little else than a rumor to the general public, the development of the headset seems well underway, despite being plagued by setbacks. In his report, Kuo talks about many changes to the development team that seem to be taking place behind the scenes, with Apple’s partners passing the production from one company to another.
Those of us who won’t be chasing the $3,000 headset (whenever it appears) may have to wait longer before a second-generation option becomes available. Kuo states that the second-gen Apple AR/MR headset will come out in two variants — high-end and low-end.
Both of them are only expected to launch in 2025. Although the price is difficult to speculate about at this point, it’s safe to assume they’ll both be cheaper than the limited edition $3,000 experiment that Apple might release this year.
