Garman has revised his expectations that Apple's AR / VR headsets may be available in 2023. In addition, I predicted that the price would be about 2000 dollars (about 230,000 yen).

Gherman explains why headsets are so expensive: 'I think there will be two processors inside the device, including a processor equivalent to the M1 Pro found in the MacBook Pro. Combined with an ultra-high resolution 8K panel display, interchangeable lens options, advanced audio technology, and more, the cost of the processor is high, and you forget that you'll have to recover seven years of in-house development costs. Must not be. '

Especially regarding the processor installed in Apple's AR / VR headset, Mr. Garman said, 'I think that the chip installed in Apple's AR / VR headset is equivalent to the M1 Pro and superior to the M1. The biggest point that M1 Pro is superior to M1 is not CPU speed but more advanced graphic performance. M1 has 8 GPU cores, but M1 Pro also has 14 to 16 cores. I am. '

Regarding what kind of product name Apple's AR / VR headset will be, Mr. Garman predicts that 'Apple Vision' 'Apple Reality' 'Apple Sight' 'iSight' 'Apple Lens' 'Apple Goggles' etc. ..



Garman also mentioned the 'Car Key' feature, which allows you to use your iPhone or Apple Watch as a key by linking your car with your Apple wallet. The 'Car Key' announced at WWDC in 2020 was said to be usable only on some models of BMW officially affiliated with Apple, but according to Mr. Garman, a Korean car maker CarKey will be available on some models of Hyundai Genesis , and it seems that CarKey compatible Genesis will be released by the summer of 2022.



Then, in response to Apple's discontinuation of the battery-powered portable speaker ' Beats Pill + ' in January 2022, 'Apple once developed a battery-powered smart speaker and is proceeding to the trial stage. 'Mr. Garman. Apple in the article creation point HomePod mini has released a smart speaker that, but this HomePod mini must be strictly connected to an external power supply. It's unclear if a battery-powered portable HomePod will be commercialized, and Garman said, 'I'm surprised if a battery-powered smart speaker is actually released under the Apple brand.' It is unlikely that it will happen.
