New reports from the supply chain claim that a prototype ‘Apple Glass’ is in phase two of production, following recent rumors of a 2021 release of the AR device.
In support of the report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that ‘Apple Glass’ will be released in 2021, a new claim states that it has passed a first production stage.
“Apple is about to enter the second phase of its development of a prototype of AR glasses,” says Digitimes in a report, “according to industry sources.”
There are no details on what this second phase represents, nor how many phases are expected. However, this indicates that ‘Apple Glass’ is progressing towards a commercial release.
Previously, Ming-Chi Kuo expected ‘Apple Glass’ to launch in early 2022. His latest report brings it to 2021, which is more in line with claims by Jon Prosser.
In addition to predicting a launch between March and June 2021, Prosser had earlier said that “Apple Glass” would sell from $ 499. The cost is for a version without prescription lenses, and possibly for a plastic mat.
