Apple is betting on augmented reality being a total hit. All they talk about is AR and how it will transform the future.
Apple says they are going to launch their own augmented reality headset/glasses by Q4 2019 - Q2 2020. The analyst says that the AR glasses will essentially act as a display only with the actual computing, rendering, internet connectivity and location services coming from the iPhone in the users pocket. The device is assumed to be working wirelessly like Apple Watch and be more lightweight and comfortable than Oculus Go.
However, there is a lot of unknown in this concept, for example, how much battery will be used while watching augmented reality experiences in front of your face or will AR glasses be compelling and useful for the public in general.
Apple has high hopes and quite ambitious in its plans, and probably soon we will see a new wearable augmented reality device.
