Apple's Mixed Reality Headset Could Cost $3,000 and Include 8K Displays

Rumors have swirled about potential VR or AR hardware from Apple for years now. But today, The Information has published perhaps the most extensive account of what the company is working on, and it paints an ambitious picture. Engadget: According to a source with direct knowledge of the device, Apple's mixed-reality headset will contain more than a dozen cameras for tracking movement and showing real-world video to the person wearing it. It is also said to include two 8K displays, giving it an effective resolution that would far outstrip anything currently on the market. [...] The Information believes that the device is in the later stages of development and could ship as soon as 2022. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Apple's first headset isn't targeted at a wide audience -- its price point is rumored to come in around $3,000. Given the hardware specs quoted in today's report, that's not unreasonable, but it's clear that this is less a device for consumers and more a competitor to Microsoft's $3,500 Hololens 2. That headset is focused on business customers more than something the average consumer would use.
