There have been some rumors that Apple’s been working on something much similar to Facebook’s Occulus Quest; a traditional headset to create the need in the market. Apple’s AR program also gained some spotlight when a leaked build of iOS 14 had a secret app, code-named ‘Gobi‘, which was rumored to be a front for Apples’s AR testing.

Jon Prossner also suggested that there could be some delays in the Apple event this fall, pushing the launch of the new 2020 iphones to October. Given the COVID-19 crisis that has taken over the world, it seems very likely. A lot of analysts have actually seconded this notion suggesting that the highest end variant for the new lineup i.e. iPhone 12 Pro Max might not be available for order until October 2020.

Given the highly flushed launch line of Apple for the year 2020, with products like iPhone 12, Apple Watch 6, and AirPods studio, the AR glasses might be an unwanted guest in 2020. Apple has also launched its budget option, iPhone SE, this year.

Apple has pooled in a lot of its resources in the AR technology; therefore, it is crucial for Apple to play its cards right with the launch of this product. If Apple is able to pull this off, we could be looking at the world with a whole new perspective in just a few years!
