迈克·罗克韦尔-一位前高管，杜比实验室公司(纽约证券交易所股票代码：DLB)受雇于苹果公司，负责领导AR/VR的开发工作，但据两位知情人士透露，这项工作的结果“因计算能力较弱而受阻”。此外，这款设备还受到电池电量问题的困扰，加上处理方面的困难，迫使苹果将其设备的发布日期推迟到明年。
The report follows Apple's filing for the "realityOS" trademark — registering the name of a long-rumored operating system (OS) for its upcoming virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices. The filing came just before the firm's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which resulted in speculation that it may mean Apple was going to announce an AR/VR product at the event, even with reports suggesting otherwise.
这份报告是在苹果公司为其即将推出的虚拟现实(VR)和增强现实(AR)设备注册了传闻已久的操作系统(OS)商标后发布的。这份申请是在苹果公司的全球开发者大会(WWDC)之前提交的，这导致了人们的猜测，即这可能意味着苹果将在大会上发布AR/VR产品，尽管有报道称情况并非如此。
Despite the development roadblocks, Apple appears to be in the final stages of preparing its first AR/VR headset for launch. A recent report suggested that Apple executives tested a version of the company's highly anticipated AR/VR headset last month.
尽管存在发展障碍，但苹果似乎已进入准备推出其首款AR/VR头戴式耳机的最后阶段。最近的一份报告显示，苹果高管上个月测试了该公司备受期待的AR/VR耳机的一个版本。
