The mass production schedule for Apple’s mixed-reality headset has reportedly been pushed back.
The delay puts into question whether the headset will make its debut at June’s WWDC event.
It’s believed that the reason for the delay may be due to decreased optimism in recreating the “iPhone moment.”
It was expected that Apple would finally announce its anticipated mixed-reality headset during WWDC, which is scheduled to be held from June 5-8. However, the likelihood of that happening is now in question as the headset has reportedly been delayed again.
Top Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, wrote on Twitter today that Apple isn’t very confident that its mixed-reality headset will be able to recreate that “iPhone moment.” As a result, the company has reportedly pushed back the production schedule for assembly by one to two months. Now the company is said to be targeting mid-to-late Q3 2023.
