It is rumored that the AppleVR earphones will be launched in 2022, and the AppleInsider has also created a unique presentation effect for them. The Apple VR ear is Apple's first step towards the future of hybrid reality. It is predicted that Apple will draw on the design elements of the Apple series to ensure that Apple products provide comfortable and stylish devices. According to a report, the AppleInsider website generated this information, describing a prototype designed as a VR earphone. The report states that it is a flat curved sunshade installed on the user's face, which is connected through a replaceable headband. Based on this description, we can expect the curved sunshade to use a glass shell similar to the AppleWatch. The Grid may be similar to the padding used by AirPodsMax, and it looks very much like an AppleWatch sports strap. Industry analyst Ming ChiKuo said that the new product weighs less than a pound and future products will be lighter. Weight has a significant impact on VR, and if the head appears too heavy, prolonged use can cause discomfort. When 'tug' arrives, some users may want to feel comfortable during a few hours of conversation.
Apple may borrow design elements from its products in its VR earphones
The presentation of this earphone is made of lightweight materials and a headband, which evenly distributes the weight of the user's head. Apple's AirPodsMax is a heavy aluminum earphone, but because it is a headband style, it has almost no sense of weight when used, and this design can also be easily converted into headphones. At first, there were reports that the VR head display would use the iPhone to process its software, but recently there have been rumors that this head display will be a standalone device. Kuo stated in a report that it will provide M1 level processing for high-end applications and development. Developers need this feature to create the next generation AR and VR experiences. Finally, the AppleVR earphones will become a springboard for the production of AR earphone content, also known as the 'AppleGlass'. Although it is the first choice for virtual reality, headphones can also enable cameras to cover real objects in the real world. That is to say, Apple's VR headphones are likely based on a hybrid reality of the software used. This alternating AR, VR, and MR mode is very suitable for all Apple device development experiences.
Apple VR head display may have multiple cameras and sensors for tracking

The AppleVR head display may include multiple cameras and sensors for tracking.
Secondary processors will be used for sensor tracking. Rumors have it that the LiDAR sensor system is sufficient to track users' hands without using a controller, but can still be paired with the controller for precise control or gaming experience.
Regarding the price, the rumored price ranges from $1000 to $3000. No matter how much Apple charges for VR headphones, they will be ultra high-end and far higher than their competitors.
Apple is expected to launch Apple VR headphones in 2022. Welcome to continue following the exclusive rendered images of AppleInsider products on AppleInsider.
