Apple Inc. is always known to launch products that are extremely hyped in the market and whose technology, hardware or software, is said to be over the top by tech geeks as well as experts. Apple is now back in the Mixed Reality game with the announcement of the mass production of its Apple Reality Pro Mixed Reality Headset from March, 2023.
The California-based, Apple Inc.’s first mixed reality headset was expected to be launched in January 2023 which was to be followed up by pre-order sales starting sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2023 and then eventually leading up to open sales in June, which is to be said around the same time Apple Inc. hosts its annual WWDC event. As per reports, the mixed reality headset is expected to be supplied by a Chinese contract manufacturer named Pegatron.
What is Pegatron?
- Pegatron is a Chinese contract manufacturer which is said to be the main supplier for the mixed reality headset, as reported by DigiTimes

Deep Diving
