During this time, the potential name of the device became known – Reality Pro. There is also information on which processor to use on the helmet. It will likely be the Apple M2 ARM chip used in the latest generation MacBook Air.
Now, thanks to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, we know that the headset won’t require the presence of an iPhone during initial setup or to perform complex tasks like the Apple Watch does.
Gürman also talked about the limitations of the M2 chip. Therefore, Reality Pro, for example, will not have graphics powerful enough to provide realistic VR images in FaceTime group chats.
More precisely, such images will appear, but only for two interlocutors – no more M2 will simply “get out”. True, Apple plans to add more powerful M3 and M4 to the future version of the headset, which will allow the company to realize the original idea.
Recall that, according to the latest data, the announcement of the first AR / VR helmet of the Apple company will be held in the summer of 2023 as part of the annual WWDC conference.
