Ming-Chi Kuo shared his latest update on the Apple MR headset and the bad news is that the launch of the device will likely be delayed alongside the iPhone 15 series in September. Kuo explains that the headphones are facing software issues and the likelihood of a potential release this spring is dwindling. There are no details on the nature of the software issues mentioned, but it appears the alleged launch of WWDC is unlikely at this point.
China’s Luxshare ICT is expected to be the primary manufacturing partner for the Apple MR headphones with mass production expected in the first half of this year. Based on recent rumors, Apple may launch its MR headset as a Reality Pro. The device will likely run its own xrOS operating system and could cost as much as $3,000 according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
Kuo also shared some preliminary details for the second-generation Apple MR headset that will debut in 2025. It will reportedly come in two versions: a more affordable one made by Foxconn and a higher-end model that will again be manufactured by Luxshare.
