Munster & Co. aren’t the only ones expecting mixed reality madness in 2022. TF International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo was calling for an AR/VR headset this year for much of last year. Not surprisingly, he’s still there.
9 to 5 Mac has Young MC reiterating his belief in a mixed reality headset from Apple by late 2022. He’s not expecting many of them, though. “According to the analyst,” according to the report:
…more significant shipments of the product won’t begin until the first quarter of 2023, suggesting that the headset will arrive in stores with only a few units available for customers.
Remember that tingly feeling you got ahead of iPhone? That sense, almost, of inevitability? I’m getting that again, in ways I didn’t ahead of iPad. I don’t know that my expectations will be anything like reasonable until we finally get an announcement from Apple. Hopefully we’ll get the same “how could we be surprised” surprise that Mr. Munster got off the iPhone. And hopefully we’ll get that this year.
