After months of vague descriptions and feature overviews , we may have just get our first sighting of Apple ’s long - awaited Reality Pro AR / VR headset , thanks to a component leak posted yesterday to Twitter . But dubiousness persist over the legitimacy of the images , which may yet test to be fake or the result of a mistake .
Twitter user Mr White ( @MrWhite128 ) , a source of leaks who has provided some accurate info in the past , sharedfour pic purportedly showing part of the assorted - reality headset that ’s expected to set up later this year . ( Mr White limits who can reckon his tweets , so we ca n’t embed the tweet , but you may see the images below . ) None of these depict the entire headset or even anything that would give us a percipient idea of what it will look like , but if genuine , they would offer at least some hint of the product ’s state of ontogeny : while prototypes occasionally escape from Apple ’s pattern and applied science section , the risk of leakage vastly increase when a launching approach and samples are transmit to third - party manufacturers in the supply chain .
The leaked ribbon cables paint an interesting depiction of what the Reality Pro headset could look like . While reports have suggested that the headset will look like a pair of ski goggles and not unlike the current VR headsets on the grocery store . However , the leak images show a rounded design that suggest the headset will look more like a twain of glass than a traditional VR headet .
But are they genuine ? The first question score is resurrect by the deficiency of documentation from other sources . Somebody has to be first , of row , but once a product reaches the leak - prostrate phase of development it ’s likely that multiple sources will get clutch of photos . Until that happens , we have to regard these images as unproven .
Furthermore , an eagle - eyed commenter has pointed out that one of the components looks like the microphone array from a HomePod . This certainly is n’t conclusive validation that the images are fake – the two ware could well partake a component , or have ones that wait alike – but it ’s also possible that somewhere along the argumentation some telegram have become crossed .
