Analyst says the rumored ‘Apple Glasses’ will be announced in January

In a note to investors — as noted by 9to5Mac, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that Apple’s augmented reality headset — the rumored “Apple Glasses” — will probably be announced in January 2023.

“The vast potential demand in the Chinese market and Apple AR/MR, which will likely release in January 2023, will also favor the continued rapid growth of the headset sector,” he wrote.

When it comes to Apple Glasses, the rumors are abundant. Such a device will certainly arrive in mid-to-late 2023. Or maybe 2024. 

It will be a head-mounted display. Or may have a design like “normal” glasses. Or it may be eventually be available in both. 

The Apple Glasses may or may not have to be tethered to an iPhone to work. Other rumors say that Apple Glasses could have a custom-build Apple chip and a dedicated operating system dubbed “rOS” for “reality operating system.”
