Apple, Samsung and Google are going to break into a new market segment very soon. Apple it will be a newcomer, but Samsung already had its own line of products here, when Google tried it too. This time, however, he could profit more from the introduction of technology Apple and leave your opponents far behind.
Apple namely, it intends to present its hardware for the consumption of augmented/virtual reality, the so-called Reality Pro or Reality One headset, at WWDC, i.e. the worldwide developer conference. This should happen already on June 5. The device should then run on a system called xrOS. If all this is true, Apple thereby beating the Samsung/Google duo by several months.

Earlier this year, Samsung claimed that it was working on its own headset for mixed reality, with the help of companies such as Google and Qualcomm. Since then, however, we have not received any news, perhaps with the exception of a mention at the Google I/O conference, where it was only said that the new XR project will be revealed later this year.

The infamous history of the Gear VR
Samsung has already penetrated the world of VR with its Gear VR series. But he introduced this product to the world in 2014, when it probably wasn't ready for it yet, and that's why it essentially disappeared in 2017. Its use was tied to placing the smartphone in front of the headset's lens system. Samsung worked with Oculus on the solution, which took care of the software side of things in this regard. So Samsung has some experience, but because it was discouraged by failure, it cleared the battlefield, which it may regret now.

Apple's Reality Pro is supposed to be independent of the phone, it is said to offer dual 4K OLED displays, 12 cameras tracking the movement of the user's body and eyes, and an M2 chip. At the same time, this will be Apple's biggest effort since launch Apple Watch in 2015. Hopefully, Samsung and Google will be able to compete with their own headsets very soon, even given Google's history, as it has already made several attempts to break into this segment with its Google Lens.
Well, this has been here many times and it never caught on. I used to root for it and believe it. Such games and movies would be great. I think that Apple it will burn out like the others and very soon. For one, price will be a killer, but even if price wasn't a factor, I doubt there will be enough SW to convince people.
Maybe like this Apple TV a Apple Arcade, NOT EVEN FREE! I had both services and they were free and expensive even if I did Apple he paid for me to use their services - NO GO! Apple The TV and its content is total garbage that cannot be watched and I personally don't know anyone who uses this service. Most of the people around me, and there are seriously many of them, have the same opinion. so what Apple Arcade - there is almost no interesting content, a few games are great, but after playing those few bits they were canceled, there was nothing and there is nothing now. 2 useless services and I hope they disappear so he should Apple more capacity to improve iPhone, AW and iPads.
As for apple NBs, they are overpriced for me. When the Macbook Pro convertible with touch screen and 16GB RAM and 2TB SSD as a base with microLED up to 70K, then maybe I will consider.
As for the headset, it's a corpse already, you'll remember it one day 😀
Just because you don't know anyone around who has tv+ and arcade doesn't mean it's trash. In 2022, tv+ had 75 million subscribers. Not a lot and not a little. Arcade also does not have the fewest subscribers - for some, the games that are there are completely enough, and they know that they can play them on iphone, ipad, appleTV.
And when there are more members in the family, who ficia na apple products and services, such as subscriptions apple it's the real deal... a family subscription applemusic + iCloud 200GB is approx. 20 euros vs apple one for about 23 euros (therefore there is already TV+ and arcade).

What are the AR/VR glasses from apple as for, I have no idea how it will turn out... I just think that the "first" version is probably not for "Everyone" - it will be shot in price. It will be important exactly how you write - the most important thing will be the software that will support them. And it will probably take until he has "enough". But let us be surprised. 🙂
I'm not advocating Apple, let everyone use the hardware / software / services that suit them. Me for now Apple it fits - it started years ago with iPhone 3.
We thank the experts for their opinion and now back to reality.
