Excited about Apple's AR headset? Its leaked price may disappoint you

Apple usually charges more than its competitors for the same technology and this has helped the company gain significant margins, said the insider.

Apple’s AR headset may be the biggest breakthrough of recent times. That is if it materialises. If we go by rumours, there is a high chance Apple’s first headset will indeed arrive. While several previous rumours said the headset’s launch would take place towards the end of this year, the latest Bloomberg report said Apple is facing overheating problems with the headset, causing the delay in launch to next year. Now, a new report has tipped the price of this AR headset and boy is it pricey.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said the Apple AR headset will cost around $2,000. That is nearly 1,49,000 in Indian Rupees. And that is not all. Some industry analysts have predicted the cost of the AR headset may go up to $3,000, which is a whopping Rs 2,23,000 approximately. So if you were excited, that is an expensive disappointment for you. Gurman said Apple usually charges more than its competitors for the same technology and this has helped the company gain significant margins to become “one of the most profitable consumer-electronics companies ever.” But the $2000 price may not just be a random choice. The internal technology of the AR headset may lead to such a price.
