A new leak of an Apple VR headset has seemingly shown off some of the device’s duller components, but if the leak is legit – more on that in a moment – it could be the most interesting we’ve seen, as it may finally have confirmed that the rumored headset is a tangible product.
Apple has been rumored to be working on a VR headset for a while, but has yet to make an official statement on a product. While we’ve heard it will use an M2 chip, be unveiled at WWDC 2023 and cost $3,000 dollars, there’s no guarantee that any of these details are true, or even that the VR headset itself will come close . to appear.
However, a new leak has been shared by MacRumors (opens in new tab) would show the first actual components of the highly anticipated headset. While the components aren’t particularly exciting, if the images are legit, this would be the first physical evidence that Apple is indeed working on a VR headset and will soon be showing off something physical for its efforts.
The images themselves are courtesy of Twitter user MrWhite128 – you have to follow the private account to actually see the message – and it appears to show ribbon cables that would connect sensors and other components in the headset.
Still just a rumor
We always recommend taking leaks with a pinch of salt, and as exciting as this particular leak is, we recommend taking it with more than a pinch.
For starters, MrWhite never explicitly says these are Apple VR headset components. The images were shared in a post that contained only the face-wearing sunglasses emoji, and it’s other people who linked them to the Apple product.
Also, as has been pointed out by MacRumors readers, some of the cables are very similar to those found in Apple HomePod (2018) teardowns – such as iFixit’s (opens in new tab). There’s a chance Apple could use similar sensor arrays for its headset, but when you couple this with the fact that MrWhite doesn’t seem to have too much experience with Apple leaks, we feel more than a little skeptical. .
We’ll have to wait and see if these images turn out to be legitimate snaps of Apple headset components, but we doubt MrWhite’s post will be the last to supposedly reveal Apple’s hardware ahead of its expected launch. We just hope the next leak consists of parts that are a little more remarkable, if not on the same scale as the recent Google Pixel 7a leak that apparently revealed the whole phone.
