The Clap
Apple could soon release its biggest product since the Apple Watch, a mixed reality headset (MR).
Claps Class
MR is an immersive computer-generated environment in which physical & virtual elements are combined. Examples include furniture fitting & Snapchat filters.
The deets
The new product was reportedly showcased to Apple’s board of directors. The tech giant has also been making progress in developing the software that its headsets would run on, the ROS (reality operating system).
Why this matters
The preview of the product to the board coupled with progress in the ROS suggests that the product is at an advanced stage of production, & could be released sooner rather than later.
The MR headset would also diversify Apple’s product lineup. Here are the companies’ products & their revenue contributions:
- iPhone (52%)
- Services (20%)
- Mac (11%)
- Wearables & Home (9%)
- iPad (8%)
