For Apple, 2019 year is not so amazing in terms of Hardware as we have seen iPhone 11 Pro, Apple Watch Series 5 or AirPods 2nd Generation but all these devices are the iterations of their product line, Apple just updated the specs or changes some internal thing, but all these products do not add any new things to Apple portfolio. But this scenario may change in 2020 as Apple is set to introduce major new augmented reality initiatives next year with new 3D rear sensors and them also likely to introduce a very new category of device a long-rumored AR headset product.
For Apple, 2019 year is not so amazing in terms of Hardware as we have seen iPhone 11 Pro, Apple Watch Series 5 or AirPods 2nd Generation but all these devices are the iterations of their product line, Apple just updated the specs or changes some internal thing, but all these products do not add any new things to Apple portfolio. But this scenario may change in 2020 as Apple is set to introduce major new augmented reality initiatives next year with new 3D rear sensors and them also likely to introduce a very new category of device a long-rumored AR headset product.
Apple has started to pioneering AR from very starting as VR still not able to take off in terms of the smartphone, this year we haven’t seen any device which works on device VR even Google also not introduce any VR headset this year. During the WWDC event, Apple has updated its AR software to AR 3 and this time developers can really track AR into the real environments, shadows now also react with AR images and much more update which really made AR an alternative to VR.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple has “Targeted” to launch the headset in 2020, featuring holographic displays in the lenses. The exact form factor and use cases for the headset is still unclear. According to a leak from Apple renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, he said that Apple would release an AR headset in mid-2020 with a “third-party brand collaboration”.
Apple is going to revolutionize the year 2020 in terms of technology as the company is all ready to set up releasing an iPhone with the new design which eliminates notch, brings 5G networking and new time-of-flight 3D sensors for the rear camera that will help with augmented reality applications.
The AR glasses from Apple will be the “One more thing” from Apple as this glass may change the future of wearable technology. AR devices are not new to the market because we have seen a very good example of devices from Microsoft Holo Lens, but these devices have limitations as we can’t carry these devices and move around as they are building for a specific purpose.
Bloomberg describes the headset as glasses “to display things such as texts, emails, maps and games over the user’s field of vision.” However, the publication says that the release schedule for Apple’s AR hardware may get further delayed as if executives decide it is not yet ready for prime time.
Bloomberg further added that Apple will be trying to bring ARM-based Macs in 2020, as now Mac perform all some basic function with ARM chipset like sounds, security unlocks or drives encryption. The use of ARM will significantly increase MacBook’s battery and it will break its All-day mark and may give around 24 hours of battery life. Apple may also bring 5G chipset in their MacBook to provide hassle-free internet connectivity. I hope we’ll see these devices around until then be connect with us.
