Cailian News Agency, June 3rd (Editor Shi Zhengcheng)According to the schedule, Apple's annual developer conference WWDC will start next Monday local time (early Tuesday, Beijing time). As the countdown approached, renowned technology journalist Mark Goodman also began his final sprint, releasing a large amount of details at once.

MR equipment and xROS system

As a new product category released by Apple in the capital after nearly a decade, Apple MR is positioned as the ultimate high-end. The whole equipment will be made of glass, carbon brazing and aluminum, which looks like a pair of high-tech ski goggles. This head display also has an external screen to display the wearer's facial expressions and eyes. There is also a crown on the device, similar to the AppleWatch, used to switch between AR and MR modes.

The main functions of Apple MR are instant messaging, film and television consumption, physical exercise, gaming, and productivity.A person who once participated in the development of this device stated that the entire device can be seen as a "symbol of status" and a "future computer"

In terms of configuration,The Apple MR will be equipped with an M2 chip and 16GB of memory, as well as an external battery slightly larger than the MagSafe battery pack, with a single charge range of approximately two hours.

Users will use eye movements and gestures to control the device, such as focusing on an item to highlight it, and then pinching their fingers to select it. This device has a series of microphones and speakers installed near the user's temples, but it will rely on AirPods to enhance spatial audio.

Consistent with previous reports, this device is priced at approximately $3000 and is a rare 'not very profitable' device. After the release next Monday, it should be several months before it actually goes on sale. Apple has discussed multiple possible release dates internally, including being released together with the iPhone 15, in December of this year or early next year.

In order for attendees and media attending WWDC to showcase the latest MR equipment,Apple also specifically built a "large structure" within its headquarters. Apple is preparing to continue more demonstrations in the coming summer.It is reported that at Apple's press conference, the company will focus on showcasing immersive FaceTime, AppleTV+content, and games focused on VR.

Users wearing glasses need to pay special attention, as the device itself is too thin and it is unlikely to add an additional pair of MR glasses while wearing them. But Apple has also prepared for itCard in prescription lens system.
