Tim Cook unveils Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset

Apple CEO Tim Cook ushered in a new era for mixed reality with the announcement of Apple Vision Pro, a new augmented reality headset that was the company’s first new product category in many years.

The headset announced at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference wasn’t a surprise thanks to a number of leaks, but experts had been predicting it would happen since 2015. The device comes early next year at $3,499. That price point is higher than rumored, and the debut is later as well.
