Apple’s headset is said to look similar to Facebook’s Oculus Quest. But it would be featuring a much sleeker design and the company will be making use of fabrics as well as lightweight materials to ensure the device is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.

Subsequently, the company will bring augmented reality glasses. As per the report, the company will be designing the AR glasses in such a way that it could be worn all day.

Another report suggests that a leaked code inside iOS 14 has been spotted that confirms that the company is working on the development of its AR headset. The report stated that “Leaked code from an internal version of iOS 14 shows some of the ways Apple is testing their AR headset. A geolocated bowling game, which can be triggered at an intersection near the Apple office “Mathilda 3” at 555 N Mathilda Ave in Sunnyvale, California, is being tested which allows users to play bowling using the crosswalk as a lane. This office is only a few miles from Apple Park and could be one of the locations used for developing the AR headset.” For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
