As reported by MacRumors, Kuo states the VR headset boasting a 96W USB-C power adapter proves the HMD will offer processing power on the same level as an M1 MacBook, and possibly the more advanced M1 Pro or M1 Max. As previously reported, Apple’s VR headset will be a standalone device, meaning it won’t be tethered to a Mac or an iPhone. We also know Apple’s first mixed reality headset is expected to be equipped with Wi-Fi 6/6E for an improved wireless experience, and is tipped to compete with other highly anticipated VR devices set to arrive in 2022; including Sony’s PSVR 2 and Meta’s new high-end VR headset Project Cambria. The headset is also expected to be equipped with two processors, with the first being on par with the M1 chip. The second lower-level processor is tipped to manage the device’s sensor-related operations. We’re excited to see Apple’s mixed reality headset, merging AR and VR, but this may not be the only headset Apple has lined up. A second-generation Apple VR headset is reportedly set to arrive in 2024, with improvements including “lighter weight, appearance design, battery system, and processor,” Kuo says. Will it be worth waiting for the next headset despite the first not being officially announced? Only time will tell.
