Back in July, it was reported that Apple had stopped developing AR/VR headsets temporarily and that the team working on them was disbanded in May and reassigned to other product developments.

The Cupertino-based company is also reportedly preparing to release the iPhone SE 2, a new iPad Pro and a new MacBook in the first half of 2020.

The iPhone SE 2 is said to have an iPhone 8-inspired design structure and will run on the latest A13 chip.

The new iPad Pro models will be launched in the first quarter and will reportedly come with a rear-facing 3D Time-of-Flight sensor for increased accuracy in depth-of-field photography.
