> Apple's long-rumored mixed-reality headset is also expected to feature Wi-Fi 6E. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that head-mounted display devices in 2022, 2023, and 2024 will offer Wi-Fi 6/6E, Wi-Fi 6E/7, and Wi-Fi 7, respectively, but it is unclear if this information was related to Apple's product roadmap specifically.
If the headset is not announced in September, I'm going to give up on believing these rumors.
ha, i think you might have a bit of a wait. apple has a tendency to sit on new products for a long time while they wait for the market to develop and while they work out UX, supply chain, and marketing issues. also, the cadence of product releases is yearly, so if there isn't an optimal slot this year, they'll push launch back a year just for that reason.
despite the rumors, i don't think we see the headset in the next 3 years, and we won't get an apple car in the next 7. there's no competitive nor wall street pressure for either of these rumored product developments (as in, there's no threat to apple if these aren't released sooner rather than later).
i will say the headset fits apple's future product roadmap better than the car, because apple wants to firmly own personal computing tech, which is increasingly miniaturizing and becoming more pervasive/integrated into our lives. the car is a nice extension, but not core to that vision. even apple home is more central to that vision than the car.
If the headset is not announced in September, I'm going to give up on believing these rumors.
