Apple's First AR/VR Headset Could Offer Impressive Display Specs

Apple plans to unveil its first AR/VR headset at WWDC23 next week. The head-mounted display, which is dubbed the Reality Pro, is expected to cost a whopping $3,000 or more. Some new revelations might show why the headset could be priced this high, where it all boils down to the leaked display specifications.

According to display consultant Ross Young who goes by the name @DSCCRoss on Twitter and is also a frequent source for iPhone news, the upcoming mixed reality headset from Apple will sport high-end micro OLED displays. He added that the panel will measure 1.41-inches across diagonally per eye, and has a 4,000 pixel-per-inch resolution with an amazing 5,000 nits brightness.

Based on what the analyst revealed, this could mean the nits value given is the peak brightness, which is far higher compared to existing virtual headsets such as the ultra-premium Microsoft Hololens 2 at 500 nits or the budget Meta Quest 2 at 100 nits. He also mentioned that the actual resolution per eye is approximately 4K, or twice the number compared to the HTC Vive XR Elite that the NextPit team had an eyes-on and more than double of what the Meta Quest Pro (review) offers, although both feature LCD screens.

More importantly, Young noted that such display specifications would allow the Apple Reality Pro headset to offer HDR content without relying on external hardware upscaling. In simple language, the device could automatically transform content into one with higher contrast and more vivid colors, resulting in more immersive output similar to the Starburst prototype shown by Meta last year.

In addition to the display, Apple's first xrOS-based wearable was reported to feature a wide array of sensors and cameras to enable advanced eye and hand tracking that is notably missing in most AR/VR glasses. It is believed that the headset has an external battery pack, which can be stashed away in the user's pocket instead of having it built into the strap. Furthermore, the Apple M2 chipset could also power the Reality Pro.

Do you think the first Apple AR/VR headset with its premium specifications will be a success in delivering the wow factor similar to the original iPhone? We're eager to hear your thoughts on this.
