Apple typically takes its sweet time to enter new product categories, but the wait may soon be over. According to the prolific analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is planning to launch its first augmented reality hardware by the second quarter of 2020. Apple’s AR glasses have been repeatedly rumored over the years, but Kuo believes that mass production could begin as soon as the fourth quarter of this year, but the middle of next year at the latest.
Apple’s first-generation AR glasses will apparently be an iPhone accessory, rather than a standalone product. In other words, it will serve as a display, with the iPhone handling the computing, networking, and positioning. Presumably, the AR glasses will connect to an iPhone wirelessly, but this isn’t stated explicitly in the report.
