Apple likely to begin mass production on AR & VR headset in early 2023: Report

Apple will begin mass producing its AR (augmented reality) and MR (mixed reality) headsets in March 2023 in an effort to get into the AR headset market. according to various media reports. The MR headset was developed by Apple in collaboration with Pegatron, according to a MacRumors report. If all goes according to plan, the headgear may be mass produced in March 2023 and unveiled the following month. 

It has been rumoured that the headset's manufacturing may be restricted, that it may have a high asking price, and that it may only be offered to businesses. According to the report, Apple's partners are only ready to work on the headgear because of the technical competence required and the opportunity to establish a standard for future AR and VR technologies, not because it would be profitable. In May, it was reported that Apple had shown its upcoming mixed-reality headset to members of its board of directors.
