Report: Apple headset to be announced in 2022 but getting one might take longer - 9to5Mac

After more than half a decade since the company unveiled a brand new category of product with the Apple Watch, everything points that the next big launch will be an AR headset.

According to the report, the same thing that happened with the original iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch could happen with this rumored headset.

This means Apple could announce it but will take a while for the product to actually launch:.

As Gurman recalls, the original Apple Watch took 227 days to actually launch.

Around the time of the Apple Watch debut, Cook—three years into his tenure as CEO—was under pressure from investors and customers to deliver a new product category.

The interest in Apple’s new headset has grown in the past few days as analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also corroborated Apple’s plans, with a report about the company’s new AR headset that is said to launch in Q4 of 2022?

Although it seems confusing, rumors point out two different products: Apple’s AR headset and the company’s Mixed Reality headset, which Gurman has said will be “pricey.” Apple will benefit from this long schedule to create hype around this next big product category:.
