Apple has allegedly seen some notable progress recently with its AR headset and Apple Glasses efforts. A new report from
The Information says that the company’s semitransparent lenses, one of the most important components of the upcoming wearable devices have passed the prototyping stage and moved into trial production. Additionally, the report includes new details on the thickness of the lenses, integrated technology, and more.
The report is careful to note that the lenses are for Apple’s upcoming “AR devices” meaning it’s unclear if they will be for the
AR headset that’s expected to launch first (likely in 2022) or the eventual AR Apple Glasses that
could arrive by 2023.
The Information reports its sources say Apple has been working on the semitransparent lenses with its major manufacturing partner Foxconn since 2018.
