Apple headset with six cameras and laser rangefinder costs more than $ 500

According to the China Times, Apple’s virtual / augmented reality headset could be released as early as Q1 2022. According to the source, in terms of design, the device will be close to other brands of virtual reality headsets.

The device is expected to be equipped with six cameras and a laser rangefinder that will accurately determine the distance between objects in the real world and be used in augmented reality applications. Most of the components for this headset will go into production in the fourth quarter of this year. TSMC will supply the single-chip systems, Largan and Genius Electronic Optical will provide Apple with cameras, and Pegatron will handle assembly. It also notes that the headset’s supply chain is heavily concentrated in Taiwan.

JP Morgan believes Apple’s VR headset will target the upper end of the consumer market with the highest price tag on the market. Only the cost of the device exceeds $ 500. Earlier, analysts have already warned that the Apple headset will be much more expensive than similar devices of competitors. It’s worth noting that the iPhone 12 sells for twice its cost, so you can estimate the approximate price of the headset.

As for the lightweight and sleek augmented reality glasses, this product has been delayed for now.
