Apple VR headset: everything we know, from specs to design

Rumours about Apple's VR offering (tentatively dubbed Apple Glass) have been circulating for a long while now, but the mythical product is yet to make an appearance. We recently got the biggest hint yet that Apple AR is on the way (from CEO Tim Cook, no less), which, in combination with a host of other tidbits, give us more hope than ever we'll see Apple Glass soon.

While a previous round of rumours suggested that the headset is set to enter mass production in the second half of 2022 with a launch before the end of the year, the newest info says we'll have to wait a bit longer – until 2024, in fact. If true, the PS VR2 and Oculus Quest's newest rival could be in prototype at the end of this year. (Don't fancy waiting? Check out the best Oculus Quest 2 deals available now.)
