Apple's VR/AR headset may be delayed

Cult of Mac Today
Apple’s latest unannounced product (a VR/AR headset) has been unofficially delayed to an unannounced later date, according to unnamed sources.
That’s the skinny from Bloomberg, which is claiming that the most hotly anticipated product of 2022 might get pushed back until 2023.
It’s a bummer, if true, but it’s not over yet – and let’s hope Apple can pull it out of the bag. After all, most of Apple’s major products go through some kind of development hell.
The first iPod, for example, was reportedly nearly pushed back when a nasty battery bug surfaced at the last minute.
But Tony Fadell, the ex-Apple executive in charge of the iPod’s development, brushed aside such fears, telling me in an interview that last-minute glitches were par for the course and NBD.
Let’s hope this is the case for Apple’s VR/AR headset. I can’t wait to strap it on!

Apple might be forced to push VR/AR headset back to 2023
The long-rumored device might not be announced until late this year – and might not ship until next year. Mechanical and software problems reportedly delayed the headset, which supposedly will offer both virtual reality and augmented reality capabilities.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CULT OF MAC DEALS TEAM

Even making simple games and learning what’s fun and what isn’t is locked at the bottom of a steep learning curve. Luckily for would-be game devs, The Complete GameGuru Unlimited Bundle helps you ride that learning curve.

Blogger Basic Apple Guy, whom we’ll call BAG, has been an Apple fan since high school shop class, when he convinced the teacher that making an iMovie on the teacher’s iMac G3 should fit into the curriculum. Now, decades later, BAG’s passion lives on. It showed when he recently shared one of his computer setups, the “kitchen edition.”

The more I learn about the privacy protections Safari has in place (today, details for Safari Web Extensions & those permission prompts), the more frightened I become for the people who use any other browser. Wow. The protections we provide are fierce. Bad actors are BAD.

“I love things that level hierarchy, that bring the individual up to the same level as an organization, or a small group up to the same level as a large group with much greater resources. And the Web and the Internet do that. It’s a very profound thing, and a very good thing.” – Steve Jobs
