Kuo: Apple’s AR/VR Headset Announcement is ‘Last Hope’ for Persuading Investors It Will Be the Next ‘Star Product’
“Apple’s announcement event is likely the last hope for convincing investors that the AR/MR headset device could have a chance to be the next star product in consumer electronics,” Kuo wrote in a Medium article estimating upcoming virtual reality headset sales from Sony and Meta.
With Sony cutting production plans for the PS VR2 and an estimated 300,000 product lifecycle shipments for the Meta Quest Pro, Kuo believes there is “insufficient evidence” to indicate that AR/VR headsets can become the next major thing in consumer electronics.
As the unveiling of the AR/VR approaches, there has been growing skepticism that Apple will introduce a product that people actually want to buy. In late March, The New York Times cited Apple employees who were concerned about the usefulness and the price point headset. Some questioned whether the device is a “solution in search of a problem,” unlike the iPhone and the iPad. There are also worries that it is not “driven by the same clarity” as other Apple devices.
Apple CEO Tim Cook earlier this week said that there have been “loads of skeptics” with everything that the company has done, but that Apple has succeeded anyway. “If you do something that’s on edge, it will always have skeptics,” he said. Cook said that Apple is “not interested in putting together pieces of somebody else’s stuff,” and that in markets it enters, the company wants to “control the primary technology.”
While Kuo suggested in late March that Apple’s AR/VR headset might not make an appearance at WWDC because Apple had pushed back its mass production timeline, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman on Sunday said that Apple still plans to announce the device during the WWDC 2023 keynote. Kuo has not walked back his delay suggestion, and his note today does not include a timeline for Apple’s event.
Rumors indicate that the AR/VR headset will use 4K micro-OLED displays, dozens of cameras for capturing everything from a user’s surroundings to their gestures and facial expressions, a lightweight, comfortable fit facilitated by an external battery, and a focus communication software.

I’m a gym girl – I make sure my cardio machine is available in the most ‘genius’ way, people say they hope it’s a joke
A FITNESS lover has shared the “genius” way she makes sure that people don’t touch her machines at the gym.
She used her creative skills to mark her territory in a TikTok video, but some people say they hope it’s a joke.
Pareesa Akbar is a fitness trainer and influencer who shares relatable gym content on her Instagram.
She keeps it real about her weight loss and wellness journey and also showcases how the gym plays a role in her life.
In a TikTok video, she brought viewers with her to work out and let them in on a unique hack.
When she’s ready to get her cardio on, she has a way to make sure people don’t touch her machine.
At the start of the quick video, the camera was panned toward a set of stair masters.
“How I save my cardio machine for Monday’s 5 – 7 p.m.,” the subtitle above the visual read.
Then, the brunette walked into the frame and placed something quickly on the steps of the machine before walking away.
Upon closer review, it’s apparent that she placed a sign on it that read: “Out of Order.”
“Works every time,” Pareesa wrote in the video’s caption.
There were mixed opinions about the trick and people made those clear in the comment section of the video.
“Ok but actually genius,” one viewer commented.
“Please I hope it’s just a joke,” another chimed in.
“I’d throw the sign in the trash. You can’t put bids on machines,” another added.
“Stop this is so smart,” a fan wrote.
