Apple VR headset price, features (expected)

• The Apple Reality Pro headset is speculated to be one of the most powerful XR headsets out there. What this also means is that the price will also be in the premium range.
• Rumours have it the headset will use 4K micro OLED displays from Sony, dual processors fabbed by TSMC, 12 cameras and an external power supply.
• There will be an option to switch between augmented and virtual reality modes using a Digital Crown-like control knob.
• There could be multiple cameras that can read facial expressions, map the surrounding areas, and detect body movements.
• Rumours have it that the Apple Reality Pro headset could be priced at $3,000, so it will be aimed at professionals and not regular users.
• The headset is set to go on sale later this year. This means that developers will have ample time to create apps and experiences before the official launch. 

Besides the AR/VR headset, Apple’s WWDC event this year will witness announcements regarding iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, tvOS 17, and watchOS 10. There are chances that the Cupertino giant might unveil the refreshed Mac Pro that is powered by the Apple Silicon chip and a new MacBook Air model with a larger 15-inch display. Apple will livestream the keynote on various platforms, including Apple.com, the Apple Developer website, Apple TV, and YouTube.
