Apple's first mixed-reality headset may have limited release this year

Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has jotted down his latest prediction in a note to investors. In this note, Kuo mentioned that the first Apple headset will be “postponed to the end of 2022.”

Apple’s first headset is widely speculated to arrive later this year and it will feature a mix of virtual reality and augmented reality, better known as mixed reality. There is only so much we know about this headset, but new information keeps coming in. A fresh speculation suggests the release of Apple’s headset will be limited, which means it will be available in limited quantities in late 2022.

Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has jotted down his latest prediction in a note to investors, seen by 9to5Mac. In this note, Kuo mentioned that the first Apple headset will be “postponed to the end of 2022.” This might mean that the company may launch the product at the iPhone event but hold the shipping until the year-end. He said that adequate supplies of the VR/AR headset will not arrive until the first quarter of 2023. This means the initial release will see only a few units of the Apple headset.
