Kuo: Apple MR headphones delayed due to software bugs

Ming-Chi Kuo has shared his latest update on the Apple MR headset and the bad news is that the launch of the device will likely be postponed alongside the iPhone 15 series in September. Kuo explains that the headset is facing software issues and the likelihood of a potential release this spring is diminishing. There are no details on the nature of the software issues mentioned, but it seems that the supposed launch of WWDC is unlikely at this stage.

China’s Luxshare ICT is expected to be the main manufacturing partner for the Apple MR headset with mass production scheduled for the first half of this year. Based on recent rumors, Apple may launch its MR headset as the Reality Pro. The device will likely run its own xrOS operating system and could cost up to $3,000 according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

Kuo also shared some preliminary details about the second-generation Apple MR headset which is expected to debut in 2025. It will reportedly come in two versions – a more affordable one made by Foxconn and a higher-end model which will again be made by Luxshare.
