We\u2019ve heard about\u00a0Apple<\/a>\u2018s upcoming\u00a0AR\/VR headset<\/a> for a while now, with leaks pointing to a $3,000+ price tag, dual 4K OLED screens, and even a waist-mounted battery pack. Now, a trusted source has shed more light on the device.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bloomberg<\/em>\u00a0journalist Mark Gurman has posted more apparent details about Apple\u2019s mixed-reality headset, apparently called Reality Pro, in his\u00a0Power On newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For starters, some top managers in charge of launching the product apparently believe the category could eventually surpass the iPhone as Apple\u2019s top-flight product. Furthermore, Apple purportedly believes that a headset can eventually be worn all day and everywhere, replacing a laptop and phone.\u00a0 However, it looks like there could be more than a few hurdles in the way of the first-gen product.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Perhaps the most notable tidbit is that the device will only last for two hours on a charge. For what it\u2019s worth, the\u00a0Meta Quest Pro<\/a>\u00a0also lasts for roughly two hours. But this just means Apple wouldn\u2019t be alone in offering extremely short endurance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This isn\u2019t the only downside to Apple\u2019s mixed-reality headset though. Gurman asserts that the Reality Pro will also launch with a limited amount of content and have a design that could be uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gurman also suggests Apple doesn\u2019t have a must-buy use-case for the headset, saying the company is pushing immersive video consumption, integration with other Apple products, and \u201cadvanced VR-based Facetime calls\u201d instead. Video content is a particularly interesting selling point in light of the device\u2019s poor battery life, so we\u2019d imagine that you\u2019ll want to stay plugged in if watching anything longer than two hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nShort battery life and a dearth of content<\/h2>\n
Are you excited about the Apple Reality Pro headset?<\/h3>\n
