It looks like Apple’s AR/VR (augmented reality/virtual reality) headset has hit another bump in its development.
According to often reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the rumoured mixed reality headset is now expected to release this coming fall. Kuo says that problems with software development tools and issues related to drop tests have pushed the headset out of its initial spring/summer WWDC release window.
Kuo goes on to say that the rumoured January media event for the VR/AR headset also likely won’t happen.
