Apple's AR/VR Headset Delayed To 2023: Why A WWDC Unveil Is Unlikely
Mike Rockwell — a former executive at Dolby Laboratories Inc. (NYSE:DLB) hired by the Cupertino giant — was tasked by Apple to lead the AR/VR development efforts, but the results have been "hobbled by weak computing power" according to two people familiar with the matter. Furthermore, the device was also plagued by issues with battery power that alongside the processing struggles forced Apple to postpone the release date of its device until next year.Tech behemoth Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is unlikely to release the first product in its long-rumored augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) product lineup this year.

邁克·羅克韋爾-一位前高管，杜比實驗室公司(紐約證券交易所股票代碼：DLB)受僱於蘋果公司，負責領導AR/VR的開發工作，但據兩位知情人士透露，這項工作的結果“因計算能力較弱而受阻”。此外，這款設備還受到電池電量問題的困擾，加上處理方面的困難，迫使蘋果將其設備的發佈日期推遲到明年。
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.
這份報告是在蘋果公司為其即將推出的虛擬現實(VR)和增強現實(AR)設備註冊了傳聞已久的操作系統(OS)商標後發佈的。這份申請是在蘋果公司的全球開發者大會(WWDC)之前提交的，這導致了人們的猜測，即這可能意味着蘋果將在大會上發佈AR/VR產品，儘管有報道稱情況並非如此。
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.
儘管存在發展障礙，但蘋果似乎已進入準備推出其首款AR/VR頭戴式耳機的最後階段。最近的一份報告顯示，蘋果高管上個月測試了該公司備受期待的AR/VR耳機的一個版本。
