Apple is rumored to introduce its long-awaited mixed reality headset during the WWDC 2023 keynote on June 5. While reports suggest that the so-called Reality Pro headset unveiling is a sure thing, a story by The Information (via 9to5Mac) shows how challenging it has been to produce this device.
According to the publication, the mixed-reality headset has an “unconventional curved design, thinness, and ultralight weight,” which explains why it is expected to cost around $3,000. The curved glass with edges wrapped in a smooth aluminum frame supposedly appears slightly thicker than an iPhone and could bring a durability issue as it has been difficult to balance the curved glass thickness and weight.
