To The Moon

Rumors about Apple's entry into the immersive hardware market have once again been delayed, and it is uncertain when consumers will actually be able to get their hands on this hardware. If Apple plans to launch the device and accompanying software at WWDC, it would indicate that this is the time for it to begin seeding the developer base with test hardware and software development kits to start building applications. If this is the case, it means that it will be at least a few more months before the hardware is available to consumers.

Regardless of the quality of the hardware and software available at the time of release, Apple may be able to take advantage of its loyal fans for an initial wave of device sales, but without truly killer applications, the product is unlikely to gain mass market appeal. And with a rumored price point of $3,000, it may be far beyond the budget of the average consumer and is likely to continue to be relegated to fans.

Judges still have no consensus on whether immersive hardware will serve as a gateway to long-term metaverse experiences, and Meta's Oculus seems to have reached a certain level of saturation and lacks killer applications that drive widespread adoption. Can Apple break this trend and achieve mass adoption? It actually depends on the software development for the hardware, which is why there may be a long gap between the release of the device at WWDC and its actual availability to consumers.

Since no specific details about Apple's immersive hardware or its software, it is difficult to provide any up-to-date relevant information. However, it is worth noting that Apple has recently been investing in augmented reality (AR) technology and has already released ARKit, a software development kit that enables developers to create AR applications for iOS devices. It is possible that Apple's immersive hardware could be an extension of this technology, but this is purely speculative. Additionally, Meta's rebranding from Facebook and its focus on the metaverse may shift the landscape for immersive hardware in the coming years, but only time will tell.
