At WWDC 2023, Apple is expected to reveal the Apple VR headset – its pricey first entry into the VR space. We previously heard that expensive components are the primary reason the VR headset is expected to cost so much, but a new report indicates that its design has also caused manufacturing costs to soar – and might come with some durability issues too.
Following an unsubtle tease from Apple (it has invited several VR experts to WWDC 2023), and several leaks from top analysts that have detailed the VR headset’s high-end components (including two processors, 12 cameras, and an impressive micro-OLED display), it looks almost certain that the Californian tech giant will be unveiling a premium VR headset at its next conference. Unfortunately, it’ll probably cost an arm and a leg, with the headset having a rumored price of $3,000 (around £2,200 / AU$4,400).
