We’ve been hearing about it for several months now. According to some sources, Apple would work well on an augmented reality headset (or even a VR headset) and autonomous. At least, that’s what the first reports claimed. Indeed, this famous device may ultimately require a connection with an iPhone to demonstrate all its capabilities thoroughly.
Since last January, rumors have been circulating insistently about an AR (for ” augmented reality “) / VR (for ” virtual reality “) headset imagined by the famous Apple brand. This object should be marketed as early as next year at a price of around 1,000 dollars. Suffice to say that it will not be within reach of all purses, but it is a habit for a product stamped Apple.
Anyway, a report relayed by The Information this week calls into question the autonomous aspect of the headset. Indeed, if we believe these last details, the device will require a wireless connection with an iPhone to unlock its true potential. Thus, used without going through a smartphone, the headset could restrict its fundamental capabilities.
At the moment, The Information specifies that users will probably have to download a dedicated application to bridge the gap between the iPhone and the augmented/virtual reality headset. Thus, iPads could also fulfill this role, but nothing is yet confirmed at this level.
