There is just over half a month left for WWDC 2023, one of the most anticipated events in the entire history of Apple. All new software is expected to be introduced: iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10, etc. Also, it has been leaked that there will be a new 15-inch MacBook Air, and the most anticipated of all, of course, are the Reality Pro.
This is a very complex product. Apple had never announced such a product. Besides, the market has not finished accepting this categoryand for this reason those of Cupertino have to do their best to launch a revolutionary product that changes the standards of the market, and this entails complexity and surely delays.
Few units and with delays
According to the Wall Street Journal, this will be the case. It seems that, although the presentation is expected in June, production will start in september, and those of Cupertino expect a series of delays. The initial idea was to start the same month of June, but it has finally been delayed until September, and even so, more problems are expected during production.
The companies that are going to manufacture the Reality Pro expect, according to the report, to manufacture about 200,000 or 300,000 units before the end of 2023. They are few. For comparison, about 100,000,000 iPhones are manufactured per year. It’s true that the Reality Pro will be more expensive, and it’s a different niche market, so it makes sense.
It is true that it comes from one of the most reliable sources out there, which is the Wall Street Journal, and it is very consistent. However, Apple’s plans can always change, and in fact, most likely they will change. In addition, there are other media such as Gizchina that give the production date for December. In any case, I’m sure the Reality Pro will be impressive.
