We have been told that the apple ar headset is less than six months away from the ar launch
this is great news to hear but what about apple glasses well the good news is that
we're getting closer to when apple glasses launch will be revealed now i want to share
the details on this along with the specs and of course the apple glasses release date and price
now already there are some companies out there making some ar glasses like enrail with their
light and air glasses and to be honest i got a pair on its way and i'll be testing them out for
you soon so excuse the pun here but keep an eye out for that video on my channel very very soon
we also know that facebook with meta and other companies are creating devices including apple
who are making both and vr and ar devices the vr device at the moment is being referred to as
applevr but the other device is more to do with ar and at the moment it's looking likely it's going
to be called apple glasses today i'm going to be more focusing on the ar device known at the moment
as apple glasses giving you such details such as the release date along with what we expect the
apple glasses price to be and what the apple glasses features will also be but i do also want
to touch on apple vr as there's been some movement there anyway let's dive in on in on what we know
about the apple eyeglasses so apple glasses have been talked about a fair bit in the past
and we have had leaks and rumors pop up even going back to 2015 and we've also had some come up in
2017 but it wasn't until around 2019 where apple were really pushing on ar and all their keynotes
and demos and that's why apple is likely to bring out an ar eyewear project and as the rumor mill
released more more early information it looks like it's coming true very soon just take a look at
the ipad pro and the iphone 12 announcements from 2021 for example both events talked about the new
lidar sensor and you guessed it the sensor is mainly to help with ar so a dedicated ar device is
definitely incoming so in september time last year we got some new ipads and we also got some new
iphones and they all run the new latest version of ios 15 and also ipad os 15. now i do know ios 16
is on its way however again ios 15 is showing more ar abilities like street view ar on your
iphone as you walk around the city or even the new live text feature for example the ability to
take a photo or even just do a live view on your camera and then just point it at some words
and then basically you can copy and paste or even translate or even look up what the words mean
and then there's even a new feature called visual lookup even this is machine learning and the
abilities we'd expect to see in the new apple glasses i think you're getting the point here
even with apple's latest software features and the introduction of the lidar sensor for example as i
already mentioned in the ipad pro and the latest iphone pro models apple are doing far more in ar
space so apple glasses are close but just before i jump in on the apple ar there's been some progress
on apple vr so according to ming chi kuo and mark girman it looks like the new apple vr headset is
going to be coming out january 2023 and in terms of the type of software that apple plan and the
headsets to run will be more focused on gaming streaming video content and video conferencing
with a special emphasis on gaming writing in the latest edition of the power on newsletter
bloomberg's mark german says that apple is shooting for a headset that can handle high
quality vr games qo has also mentioned that for one the specs in the apple vr is for the
vr headset to come with wi-fi 6e this is quite important as it's most likely the content for
the headset will be coming from another apple device or over the internet on a high stream
to look super clear inside the headset but for apple ar well we had a leak from minchi quo quite
a while ago saying that the glasses are looking to be released for the second quarter of 2022
but we now know that the apple vr is coming in 2023 then it may get delayed but it is likely
that apple will preview the device before that time for apple to announce the glasses and then
release the product say three or even six months later it's not unheard of either we saw the mac
pro the trash can shaped device announced in june 2013 and it actually came out five months
later and then again the same with the newer mac pro that was announced in june 2019 and didn't
actually come out right to the very end of 2019 other sources meanwhile have said that they're
still coming out but they've been delayed by years with an ar headset apparently landing in either
2022 or 2023 followed by ar glasses in 2024. so as you can see it's a bit of a mess right now and
there's lots of confusion and debate around when or even if we'll get apple glasses but the latest
leaks suggest that they might be announced not too long from now but guessing our actual hands on
them that's going to be a different story entirely so no it's not the news we wanted exactly here
but let's take a look at the apple glasses leaks and rumors as well as apple's augmented reality
background and why ar specs seem like the next big move for the tech giant so then guys
just recently this channel just got over 400 000 subscribers and i did a giveaway for a macbook air
m1 and if you want to see who the winner was for that macbook air one check out my other video on
my channel where i announce who the winner is but the great thing is guys i am doing another
giveaway on this channel and it is for this this is for a 14 inch macbook pro and this is with an
m1 pro chipset inside it the eight core one with a 14 core gpu and a 512 gigabyte hard drive inside
and i'm going to be giving this away now to one lucky subscriber when we get over 450 000
subscribers and to enter into this international giveaway all i need you guys to do is put down
in the comments below of what apple gear you're planning to buy or other technology gear in 2022
put it down in the comments below and also guys if you are brand new here make sure you subscribe to
this channel and also hit that notification bell because when we get over 450 000 subscribers i'll
be announcing who the winner is of this macbook pro and you won't want to miss out on that video
now something else just want to quickly say sadly still on youtube there are lots of scammers and
spammers out there some of them even impersonating myself telling you to whatsapp them or to telegram
your other means as well ignore them or please do report them it would really really help because we
don't want scammers and spammers getting their way here on youtube well guys with that out of the way
let's return back to the video so let's get the next big item cross off the list and that is the
apple glasses price so it's azure suggests that apple glasses will cost around 499 us dollars and
that will be around 410 uk pounds and of course that is not including any prescription charges
to alter the glass lenses if needed so let's talk more about what you've seen in patent and specs
so our biggest leak is none other than our channel favorite john prosser john was the first to say
that apple glasses will actually be called apple glass and will be capable of displaying
information on both lenses with a user controlling vi gestures both on and in front of the frames
john has also said that everything will be handled by a connected iphone and apple glass supposedly
won't have conventional cameras but will have a lidar sensor to power the actual ar experiences
other details include that there won't be a sunglasses version as the display won't
work with tinted lenses also the outside observers looking at you directly face on
won't be able to see anything on the lenses and also at the same time as well that the
prototype at least will be made out of plastic however this could change for the real deal prasa
also said that apple was experimenting with a special steve jobs edition version of the glasses
that would act like an apple watch edition where the company sells a certain style of its product
for a higher price from another source mark german at bloomberg has said that the previous
information isn't correct though so take all of this with a big pinch of salt what john
prosser has just proposed beyond that apple has been busy picking up companies with an interest
in ar which suggests it's prepping its own product and recently tim cook said that apple had several
new products in the pipeline that would just blow you away and i think one of them is apple glass
we've also seen a bunch of apple patents appear recently explaining how specialist lenses could
be used to cast images on a user's eye and how a iphone ipad could be used as a controller
perhaps the biggest leak was in fact an injury report out of apple's cappucino headquarters
and it suggests that two employers had eye injuries due to working on a
prototype unit apple has also made a number of key ar talent hires over the years according
to aruma from bloomberg apple has persuaded a leading employee of nasa for the project
in hiring jeff norris founder of mission operation innovation office at nasa's jet propulsion lab
his team is apparently 1 000 people strong and the ar glasses they're working on are said to be a
high quality resolution of cameras 3d scanning and an amazing display and advanced human detection
also built straight into them they're also apparently working on an ar headset which could
launch first with a design like the oculus quest but a lightweight more comfortable build instead
it was in may 2020 apple confirmed it acquired next vr a startup that produced virtual reality
content from the likes of nba and fox sports while it's unclear how this could impact apple
ar glasses it's logical the startup's expertise will contribute to the product design in some
way so i've been banging on about apple glasses and that they will mainly use ar and some of you
have probably heard of ar but not fully understood what it actually does and have i actually seen it
before so to be honest you probably actually have seen it so some of the most popular examples of ar
are lenses and filters available on instagram and snapchat the ones where for example you stick your
tongue out and the dog's tongue appears over the top of it or your ears change into a dog's ears
or your hearts coming out of your eyeballs or for example if you're doing a video chat and you can
put on a silly hat on top of your head and it follows you around they are all ar experiences
another great example before the days of covert 19 when we could go out and about was pokemon go
where your pokeball and your pokemon could be seen for a combination of through your phone's camera
and the phone's screen so with all these possibilities that have become reality in
the last couple of years imagine now if you could slip on some glasses and when you run into say a
train station and your glasses automatically tell you the train times to your destination
right in front of you and it will show you arrows and guys on the floor to get you to the correct
platform on time to catch your train or maybe you say to siri in the middle of a supermarket
how do i make a great chicken curry and then at that moment on your screen straight away it will
show all the ingredients you need and it will guide you down all the correct aisles to the
right location to pick up those ingredients so you can take them home and make yourself a great curry
i could think of many more examples but i think you have the idea now
now i will say this the idea of ar glasses have been invented before some years ago
this was none other than google glass these advanced smart glasses were tipped to change
everything tech to the way we live by overlaying layers of information onto the real world
but thanks to people not really into this type of tech financial problems and design challenges they
never really fully came out apart from a small number of developers and testers getting their
hands on them although the trouble story of google glass may sound a bit of a failure it actually
taught tech companies a great deal about building ar tech enabled eyewear and the challenges of
bringing a whole new product category to the market it was very soon after that google pulled
the plug on the google glass that apple invested into the ar and the ar kit they offer right now
that's where we've got to today with ar so are you excited about the future of apple glasses or
apple glass will it be a piece of tech you invest in and get let me know below if you
plan to get it of course if we get any more news about the apple glasses we will share it with you
