Kuo: Apple's Mixed-Reality Headset Likely to Debut at Spring Media Event or WWDCAnalyst
Ming-Chi Kuo said in a tweet thread today that
ongoing delays with development of Apple's mixed-reality headset have likely pushed mass shipment of the device back to the end of the second quarter or into the third quarter of this year.

As a result, Apple probably will not hold a January event to introduce the device as Kuo had
predicted last June. Kuo now believes it is "more likely" the headset will be introduced at a spring media event or at WWDC in June.

As a result, it is increasingly unlikely that Apple will hold a media event for the new device in January. At this point, it seems more likely that Apple will announce the AR/MR headset at a spring media event or WWDC based on the current development progress.</p>— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo)

Kuo says the development delays with the headset currently stem from "issues with mechanical drop testing and the availability of software development tools."
