Financial analysts even estimate that the AR headset will play a role of growth driver in the next 10 years; once the iPhone is discontinued.
According to Ming Chi Kuo, a famous analyst specializing in Apple products, the brand’s first hybrid headset should be announced later this year. In a note for investors, the expert affirms that the launch will take place at the end of 2022. Apparently, a presentation in the first half of the year was on the Cupertino table.
