Apple's rumored VR headset might be 2023's most disappointing tech launch
, with the headset able to monitor the user’s face and eye movements using in-built cameras and sensors.Under the hood – or rather behind the display – the headset will apparently be powered by two different chips.
Now, you probably don’t need four VR headsets , and if you’re buying Apple’s headset you’ll probably already be invested in its ecosystem. But those comparisons go to show how $3,000 stacks up against the Apple headset’s biggest competition. The Oculus Quest 2 has proven that price is a major driving force for people looking to pick up a VR headset.
The original HomePod launched in February 2018 as Apple’s first-ever premium smart speaker. In our three-and-a-half-star, we commended the device’s “amazing sound and incredibly intuitive set-up”, but its over-reliance on the Apple ecosystem and its relatively high $349 / £319 / AU$499 price meant that overall, it was a disappointment.
While rivals including Samsung and Microsoft consistently produce tech that’s on a par with or superior to Apple products, their product launches tend to generate far less excitement. Apple fans are a distinct and numerous body of tech consumers, and they’re ravenous for new products; even if someone else does it better, they’ll still be queuing around the block at the Apple store to get their hands on whatever’s new.
