Apple VR will definitely see Meta’s next offering as one of its main VR headset rivals. We know Apple is working on a headset and has filed multiple trademarks for a new ‘Reality’ brand that includes Reality One, Reality Pro, and a Reality Processor. Rumors indicate Apple’s VR headset could be incredibly expensive, with one report tipping it to be a device costing some $3,000. We’ve also heard about multiple 8K displays, eye tracking, M2 processing power, and more.
