Bloomberg writes that Apple plans to launch the development of its own version of the metaverse. They report that the developers of this company are looking for a developer of augmented (mixed) 3D reality now. The candidate, who is lucky enough to work with Apple, will develop a framework to enable interaction in the 3D augmented reality universe.

There is information that Apple's VR helmet will be equipped with a processor that is installed on Apple MacBook Air - M2 laptops, as well as dozens of cameras to track movements in space. It is expected that this novelty will cost approximately $ 3,000, and the release of this helmet is planned for the first quarter of 2023.

There is no point in waiting for the official announcement of Apple's metaverse. Greg Joswiak, who is the company's vice president, has previously said that Apple will not use the word "metaverse". 

Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, said, back in October, that the metaverse ecosystem is in the early stages of its development, because there are a small number of people who can explain the meaning of the technology. He believes that the average Internet user, at the moment, does not understand what the meaning of the metaverse is.

Tim Cook noted that VR has potential, but it's not exactly the right way to live. He believes that this technology can be used with benefit, but it will not replace "pleasant personal communication".

The Apple CEO isn't the only one who thinks the metaverse is overrated at this stage of development. For example, Raja Koduri also has doubts about this and does not believe that a worthwhile metaverse will be presented soon.

He also stated that the metaverse could become the largest computing architecture right after the Internet.
