According to the leaks, the device will incorporate a new operating system developed from scratch by the apple company called OS reality. The system, which will incorporate the brand’s most powerful chip and offer great resolution, will be especially focused on collaborative work and gaming.

Obviously, in the European market, also in Spain, the price of glasses will be higher than in the United States. Apple, however, is working to launch a more affordable version of these glasses that could even arrive sometime in 2024.

The launch of the Apple viewer will coincide in time with the foreseeable one of the next metasearch from Mark Zuckerberg’s company that, on paper, will have a much more affordable price. Even though in the past tim cook has stated that he does not like the term metaverse, which refers to this new virtual world in which the user can practically replicate life itself, everything indicates that Apple is rowing to achieve its vision of the future of the Internet and its uses in relation to VR and AR (augmented reality) crystallize above that of the competition.
The company would also be working for a long time on lighter and more discreet augmented reality glasses that could be available as of 2025, if the deadlines set by the company are met.
