I-Apple's virtual reality (VR) kanye/noma i-augmented reality (AR) izingilazi beziseso lesiphepho emasontweni asanda kwedlula njengoba abahlaziyi abaningana bebikezele ukuthi zingamenyezelwa yi-Apple ngoJanuwari 2023. Kodwa-ke, ngokusho kolwazi lwakamuva oluvela ku-Ming-Chi Kuo, Kubonakala sengathi i-Apple (futhi) ikuhlehlise ukusatshalaliswa kwale divayisi entsha ngenxa “yezinkinga zesoftware” okufanele bazixazulule.
UMing-Chi Kuo ubelindele ukuthi i-Apple iqale ukusatshalaliswa komhlaba wonke kwamahedisethi ayo e-VR/AR engxenyeni yesibili ka-2023 kodwa kubonakala sengathi ngemuva kwalokhu kuvuza kwakamuva kwe-supply chain, kuzofanele ihlehliselwe engxenyeni yesibili ka-2023. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, Bloomberg kubike ngesonto eledlule ukuthi le divayisi entsha izosebenzisa Uhlelo Lokusebenza oludumile njenge-"xrOS" (phambilini eyayaziwa ngokuthi "i-RealityOS"). Lolu shintsho ngabe lwenziwe ngaphakathi yi-Apple emasontweni asanda kwedlula ngenhloso yoku gcizelela ukusetshenziswa kwayo ngeqiniso elingeziwe noma elinwetshiwe (iqiniso elikhonjiswe ngu-X = xr).
Ngokusho kolwazi lukaKuo, ezahlukene izinguquko nezimbungulu ezihlukahlukene ku-"xrOS" entsha bebezokwenza ukuthi i-Apple imise futhi ihlehlise ukusatshalaliswa kwenqwaba yamahedisethi ayo kuze kube maphakathi no-2023. Ngaphandle kokufaka noma yisiphi isizathu esengeziwe, umhlaziyi uthatha lokhu kubambezeleka ngokusekelwe kuhlolo lwakamuva alwenzile kubahlinzeki abakhulu be-Apple.
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi lokhu kulibaziseka ekusabalaliseni akumele kuthinte iphrezentheshini yedivayisi ngasekuqaleni kuka-2023 njengoba kuhleliwe (futhi uma kungenjalo, tshela i-iPhone yokuqala nesigaba se-beta lapho yethulwe khona). Lokhu sekwenziwe ngaphambilini kwamanye amadivaysi afana ne-Apple Watch, imemezela izinyanga ngaphambi kokuthi ibe nokutholakala kwezohwebo.
Nokho, nokuba nolwazi lwakamuva mayelana nokubambezeleka, UMing-Chi Kuo ukhuluma ngokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi bamenyezelwe ngoJanuwari mhlawumbe kusengaphambi kwesikhathi njengoba kungathatha isikhathi eside ukuthi zingamakethwa futhi lokho kungaba nomthelela ekukhangiseni nasekuthengisweni komkhiqizo.
Kusazonqunywa ukuthi uma umcimbi wokwethulwa kwabezindaba (owawucatshangwa ngaphambilini ngoJanuwari 2023) nawo uzobambezeleka, kodwa ngokuvamile uma isikhathi sokuhola phakathi komcimbi wabezindaba nokusatshalaliswa ngobuningi komkhiqizo wokugcina siside kakhulu, silimaza ukukhangisa futhi ukuthengiswa komkhiqizo.
U-Kuo uphinde wakugcizelela (ngeshwa futhi njengoba bese besazi) lokho Izibuko ze-apula kulindeleke ukuthi zibe umkhiqizo omuhle kakhulu. Ibikezela ukuthunyelwa kokuqala kwedivayisi okuzoba "ngaphansi kwamayunithi angama-500.000" ngo-2023. Ukubikezela kuka-Kuo kungaphansi kokuvumelana kwabanye abahlaziyi, okuphakathi kwamayunithi angu-800.000 kanye nezingu-1,2 million.
