According to this information, which should of course be taken with a grain of salt, the independent AR set from Apple will debut at the end of next year and will be very, very expensive (it was mentioned about the price of over PLN 10,000). In addition, it requires the iPhone to work, or at least if the user wants to use its full potential.

The aforementioned potential will be guaranteed by the presence of two processors. One will be a SoC similar to the M1, even in terms of performance, and the other (less efficient) chip that is not known at the moment, which will be responsible for sensor management. There will be a lot of these, from 6-8 optical modules. A pair of 4K Micro OLED displays from Sony will be responsible for displaying the image, and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.
