A known analyst has just revealed new information related to the Apple AR/VR headset. Reportedly, the company’s upcoming headset will use the same 96W USB Type C as the 14 inch MacBook Pro.
The news arrives from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (Via MacRumors) who shared the information in a research note with TF International Securities. The analyst stated that the Cupertino based giant’s headset will use a 96W power adapter, which is indicative of its processing power that rivals a Mac. Notably, we had also covered that the brand’s headset will feature performance that matches M1 Macs. So, this news is in line with our previous report.
Kuo further added that the iPhone maker’s headset will house two processors, one of which is a 5nm based chip while the other is a smaller 4nm based chipset. Both of these processors will be manufactured by the world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC. As per our previous report, the higher end chipset will offer computing power that rivals M1 chips in the new Macs, while the lower end processor would be dedicated towards the various sensors and related components of the headset.
Additionally, it is expected that Apple will launch its new headset with an innovative experience with seamless switching between AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) modes. The analyst further stated that the headset will be two or three years ahead of the company’s rivals and their offerings in terms of computing power. Kuo had previously claimed that the headset will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year and shipments rising in the first quarter of 2023.
