![]() Software development takes time, especially if you’re creating a product from scratch for a medium that’s entirely new to you. The Meta Quest Pro has a really solid software lineup (Image credit: Meta) If this is the case, Apple’s VR headset could in time amass a library of games and apps that’s not only on par with what Meta’s Quest lineup offers but maybe even surpasses it in the productivity and gaming space. Apple collaborators could create new software that the Meta Quest Pro could only dream of running. If the Apple VR headset uses an M2 chip as is rumored its processing power would probably entice a number of developers who may have been put off by the relatively low performance of other standalone headsets. Likewise, if developers can get hands-on time with the new VR headset at WWDC 2023, Apple will hope they go away inspired to create new software for it – or at least engineer VR/AR-compatible versions of their existing programs to port over. This in turn can serve as inspiration for the projects those devs are aiming to launch on Apple’s App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Alongside the tech media, Apple invites a swathe of developers to WWDC 2023, its annual developer conference, to show them the technical prowess of its hardware, and the updates coming in the next versions of its operating systems. Thankfully, Apple seems to be setting itself up for software success. A killer suite of software would be that reason. So while I’m intrigued by the prospect of Apple’s headset boasting significantly better specs than its rivals, I’ve yet to be shown a reason why it needs hardware that’s rumored to set you back $3,000 (roughly £2,200 / AU$4,400). ![]() Apple's VR headset might have an M2 just like the MacBook Air 2022 (Image credit: Future)
