Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
NewsSmartphonesApple’s cheaper mixed reality headset could launch before the iGlass
Apple is supposed to release a pair of augmented reality glasses after its first mixed reality headset. But that is now unlikely to happen as a fresh report suggests the development of xReality-branded smart spectacles has hit a major roadblock.
More than the iPhone 15 and next-gen HomePod speaker, Apple’s 2023 slate includes its first AR/VR headset which is expected to be announced between March and May. The headset should then be followed by augmented reality glasses after a year or two. Apparently, the release for the Apple Glass could be pushed further with no definite timing on sight.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has postponed working on its lightweight XR-based glasses. It added that Apple was not able to produce the critical components and reach the target battery life of the device are among the reasons for this decision.
Gurman stipulates that Apple is instead planning to produce a cheaper XR headset that will still utilize combined technologies of augmented and virtual worlds. However, technical details about this wearable remain thin to nothing. It would only be logical to assume it could be a toned-down version of the premium Apple headset and a rival to the upcoming Meta Quest 3.
As for the price of the cheaper AR/VR device, the source predicts it will match the iPhone pricing though unclear which exact model is compared. This means it could roughly range between $800 and $1000 or higher once launched in the market. At the same time, it would depend on the memory configurations that may be offered.
