THE Apple’s virtual and augmented reality device is getting closer and closer to being released. With that, new leaks have emerged that confirm several details speculated about the apple device, which should be called “reality pro“.
The information comes from the portal Bloomberg and reveal aspects of the functioning of the headset, as will your software. For starters, it’s worth mentioning that it shouldn’t be a competitor to Meta Quest specifically, but will have a proposal similar to Microsoft’s Holo Lens.
Digital Crown and Eye Controls
In its operation, it is expected that Reality Pro will have a crown, as in the Apple Watch. Accordingly, will use this component to switch between modes of AIR and VR. Similarly, the piece works on the AirPods Max to manipulate the volume and level of noise cancellation.
As previously reported, the device will have sensors and cameras in charge of tracking the user’s gaze. Thus, it will be possible to navigate through the system menus, which will have an aspect very similar to that of iOS. In addition, hand gestures can also be made while using the product.

Popular apps and use of FaceTime
Who is used to applications like Mail, Messages, Apple TV, Safari, Photos and App Store, do not worry. After all, all of them and many others will be accessible through the Reality Pro system. Likewise, it will have its dedicated apps and an exclusive graphics engine to run games optimally.
in relation to FaceTime, Apple’s plans include a kind of avatar, but in a more realistic footprint, with a body and legs. That is, it is something quite different compared to the virtual dolls presented by Meta.
Macs screens, aluminum body and 2h battery
Another attraction that Reality Pro will have is the possibility of viewing the screens of your Macs through it. It will even be possible to use the mouse, the keyboard or even the trackpad. The structure of the product, in turn, must be made of aluminum, glass (for external protection) and pads in the eye area to make contact with the face.
As for the battery, it is expected to last for 2 hours and will be external, the size of two stacked iPhone 14 Pro Max. In this way, the device will not be completely free of wires, since there will be a cable connecting it to the battery.
price and availability
There are rumors that indicate the launch of Reality Pro for the end of 2023 and others that suggest something in the first half of the year. That is, you can’t be sure when it will actually be announced by Apple. The same goes for the price, but rumors indicate that it will cost in the range of US$ 3 thousand (R$ 15 thousand in direct conversion).
