Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) Apple's rumored augmented reality (AR) glasses seem to need more testing and development before they are released. Jeff Pu, an analyst at Haitong International Technology Research, said Apple's AR glasses are expected to be delayed until 2025-2026 due to design problems.

"due to design problems, we now expect the AR glasses to be delayed until 2025-2026," Jeff Pu wrote in an email to MarketWatch. Just five months ago, Pu predicted that Apple's AR glasses could be launched as soon as 2024.

The analyst did not say exactly what the design problems with Apple's AR glasses are, which may involve aesthetic or technical aspects.

CTOnews.com has learned that it is no secret that Apple will enter the AR / VR space, and it is understood that its hybrid reality head will still be launched sometime next year and will compete with Meta's Quest. On the AR side, however, the report shows that Apple needs more time to study the design of its AR glasses.

Embracing augmented reality remains Apple's top priority, and CEO Cook has talked about AR on several occasions, saying it is both "a vital part of Apple's future" and "the next big event" that will "permeate our entire lives".

According to reports, Apple believes that AR will replace iPhone within a decade. Considering that there are more than 1 billion active iPhone phones in the world, Apple's view is rather radical. But if there is any company that can make a seemingly niche product popular, it is Apple. AirPods's quirky design, for example, was initially ridiculed by the outside world, but now the product is almost everywhere and generates very healthy revenue for the company.
