Notably absent from the WWDC keynote<\/span> this year was any overt mention of augmented or virtual reality. There were subtle hints sprinkled throughout the keynote\u2014virtual maps<\/span>live text, and Visual Look Up are new features asking to be integrated into a mixed reality headset \u2014 but Apple chose not to use the big event as a springboard for its upcoming platform.<\/p>\n

We knew not to expect AR hardware, but some mention of the rumored “realityOS<\/span>“Wasn’t completely out of the question. Apple will, at some point, need to drum up excitement and support from developers, which could happen to some extent during the ongoing WWDC sessions. However, the moment we’re waiting for: Apple revealing to the world its plans for augmented reality, will have to wait.<\/p>\n

How long we’ll wait remains a moving target, but one of the most reliable Apple analyzes has already chimed in with an updated timeline. Ming-Chi Kuo, in the wake of the WWDC keynote, predicted that Apple’s AR \/ MR (augmented and mixed reality) headset would be delayed until Q2 of next year, falling a few months behind the original Q1 projection. Kuo says the postponement would be due to lockdowns in China caused by the ongoing pandemic. He previously said Apple wouldn’t want to announce a product so far in advance and give its competitors time to create copies. <\/p>\n
