Apple is developing two head-worn products, including a combination AR/VR headset for release in 2022 and "full-fledged" AR glasses for release by 2023.
According to the report, Apple is planning to reach out to third-party developers as early as 2021 to encourage them to build apps for the hardware.
The headset could resemble the Oculus Quest with a high-resolution display and a lightweight design that makes it comfortable to wear.
The AR headset is expected to sport a sleek design so that it is lightweight and comfortable for the wearer to roam around for prolonged periods.
It's also expected that the device will sport a high-resolution display, allowing users to read small bits of text while seeing other people in front of them at the same time.
