Apple’s mixed reality headset has become the iPhone maker’s most anticipated new product for 2023. It may also be its most dangerous.
The headset, which Apple has yet to officially announce, will be packed with features that Apple will need to get right if the product is to have the kind of revolutionary impact that the original iPhone did on the smartphone market. Many of these features haven’t been tried before in a mass-market headset, and a clunky product could damage Apple’s reputation for meticulous design.
The Information has already revealed some features in its previous reporting – for example, how the headset resembles a pair of ski goggles and will use a set of cameras to allow people to experience augmented and virtual reality. But some details about the device, based on interviews with many people who worked on it, are reported here for the first time.
