Apple's New VR/AR Headset Risks Being Delayed Until 2023 (bloomberg.com) 9
Apple is considering pushing back the debut of its mixed-reality headset by at least a few months, potentially delaying its first major new product since the Apple Watch in 2015, Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing people familiar with the situation. From the report: The headset -- a high-end device that blends virtual and augmented reality -- was targeted for an unveiling at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June, followed by a release later in the year. But development challenges related to overheating, cameras and software have made it harder to stay on track, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. That could push the announcement until the end of 2022 or later, with the product hitting shelves by 2023, the people said.
Delay For A Better Product (Score:2)
If Apple delays this to have a good product at release, good on them. There's entirely too much BS being pushed out the door these days with the notion that they can patch it later.

Real question in my mind is even with a production delay, if they will still talk about them at WWDC so developers can start producing apps specific to them. It seems likely.
