Apple AR/VR headset reportedly blows away anonymous tester

According to prominent tech leaker Evan Blass, an insider with the opportunity to test out the Reality Pro ahead of its unveiling in June was supposedly “blown away” by the headset’s capabilities. For reference, the same person was ostensibly initially underwhelmed by the product an unspecified amount of time ago.
This information was brought forward by Blass himself via his official (and private) Twitter account @evleaks. The original tweet was subsequently covered by AppleInsider in a dedicated article.
While Blass’ words give us little concrete details to work with, there is one main implication that should be considered. Apple has made serious progress with its first-generation AR/VR headset.
It is hardly a secret that the Cupertino company has great plans for novel technology. The main reason why the device will be unveiled at WWDC, well ahead of its commercial release, is to allow developers to have a sufficient amount of time to produce apps and software that the Reality Pro can make use of at launch.
Additionally, while Apple does not expect the first-generation headset to be commercially successful, in part due to its $2500-$3000 price tag, the company is already working on a successor, which will be priced more competitively.
In the end, however, the only thing that matters is whether users will be just as “blown away” as Blass’ source when the Reality Pro makes its debut later this year.
