A render of a potential Apple headset [AppleInsider]
Apple’s production partner for the long-rumored VR and AR headset has changed, with long-time AirPods assembler Pegatron out in favor of Luxshare.
According to DigiTimes, Apple was going to employ Pegatron as the exclusive assembly partner of the headset. However, Apple allegedly asked Pegatron in March to give up manufacturing duties and the assembly operations to Luxshare.
The change is also seemingly a first for Luxshare in that it will be both responsible for manufacture and assembly of the devices. Apple tends to use Taiwanese companies like Pegatron to develop the manufacturing process, before Chinese firms like Luxshare actually produce the products using the instructions.
