Apple reportedly plans to unveil its long-awaited mixed-reality headset during the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5 at its campus in Cupertino, California. This would be the newest product Apple has announced since the Apple Watch in 2015.
Bloomberg(opens in new tab) reports that the headset, which is rumored to be called the Reality Pro, will be the big focus of the event for Apple, with a reveal of the headset and its xrOS operating system. The Apple headset will feature inside-out tracking with special hand and eye controls, VR Facetime, and AR/VR versions of core Apple apps."
The headset will supposedly have a portable battery that'll sit in your pocket to reduce its weight, too.
Like new Apple products, the headset has a rumored premium price tag—as high as $3,000. It will have a number of external cameras as well as a pair of high-resolution screens, though details on exact specs have mostly been a matter of speculation.

Even the most expensive gaming headset, the HTC Vive Pro 2(opens in new tab), will run you about $1,400, which is roughly half the reported cost of Apple's new headset.
