An Apple Vision Pro Patent Filing With The Device Name ‘eyePod’ Suggests That Work On The Mixed-Reality Headset Began 16 Years Ago, But Production Will Halt Soon
Product or feature patents for cutting-edge technology are often filed years in advance, so it should not be surprising that a filing called ‘eyePod’ from 2008 managed to slither its way to the surface around 16 years later. However, what is surprising about this patent filing is that the device in the picture looks awfully similar to the $3,499 Apple Vision Pro, suggesting that the company and its team may have been working on the headset more than a decade and a half ago. Unfortunately, things did not turn out how Apple wanted it to because a previous report said that the head-mounted wearable’s production will halt by the end of 2024.
