(Reuters) – Apple Inc (NASDAQ:) unveiled its first augmented-reality (AR) headset, as well as a series of upgrades to its devices and software, at the company’s annual developers conference on Monday.<\/p>\n

Apple’s Vision Pro, pitted against Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:)’s Quest line and PlayStation VR from Sony <\/span><\/span> (NYSE:) Group, marks the iPhone maker’s foray into a new product category since the Apple Watch was launched nine years ago.<\/p>\n

Here are the major launches made at the event:<\/p>\n

VISION PRO<\/p>\n

After months of speculation, Apple finally showed off its AR headset. Starting at $3,499 – three times Meta’s priciest device – it will begin retailing early next year. The headset, that looks like ski goggles, blends virtual and augmented reality features, allowing its wearer to see digital content superimposed on their surroundings.<\/p>\n

Users can virtually project the apps onto the space around them and control interactions with the apps through eye movement, hand gestures, and voice.<\/p>\n

Apple said the device will run the Disney+ streaming service, Microsoft Corp <\/span><\/span> (NASDAQ:)’s Office suite and apps from Adobe (NASDAQ:) Inc.<\/p>\n

Vision Pro sports 12 cameras and a digital crown similar to the Apple Watch to toggle between the AR and VR environments. It works with an external battery pack that has a two-hour capacity and connects to the device through a snap-on cable.<\/p>\n

The headset is powered by Apple’s M2 chip and a new custom-made chip called R1, which Apple said is designed to process information from its sensors in less time than the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n

It will run on VisionOS.<\/p>\n

M2 ULTRA CHIP<\/p>\n

Apple unveiled M2 Ultra, its most-powerful processor so far, that comes to its desktop computers Mac Pro and Mac Studio. The chip is essentially two of Apple’s largest M2 chips bonded together, a similar approach Apple took to boosting the performance of its M1 chips. It features a 24-core central processing unit and delivers 20% faster performance than M1 Ultra.<\/p>\n

LARGER MACBOOK AIR, POWERFUL DESKTOPS<\/p>\n

Apple launched a 15-inch MacBook Air featuring the M2 chip and an 18-hour battery life. Starting at $1,299, the variant comes a year after Apple upgraded the 13-inch MacBook Air with the same processor. Apple also lowered the price of the base 13-inch version by $100 to $1,099.<\/p>\n

The company beefed up its desktop computers, introducing a new version of its flagship Mac Pro with the M2 Ultra chip, starting at $6,999. It also upgraded the more compact Mac Studio with M2 Ultra and M2 Max chipsets.<\/p>\n

WIDGETS FOR APPLE WATCH, OS UPGRADES, JOURNALING APP<\/p>\n

Apple announced fresh versions of operating systems across its products.<\/p>\n

The new iOS 17 brings smart display-like features to iPhone, which can now double as a digital clock or a digital assistant when placed horizontally.<\/p>\n

Apple also made upgrades to its native apps iMessage, virtual keyboard and FaceTime, which gets a voicemail feature. The Phone app also got an update that allows users to create personalized contact posters for when they receive a call.<\/p>\n

Users of the iPhone will also be able to share their contact information with another user in proximity through a new feature called NameDrop.<\/p>\n

The company also introduced a journaling app for the iPhone, called Journal, that uses in-device machine learning to give writing suggestions curated from photos, location and other information that’s on the phone.<\/p>\n

More striking upgrades came to Apple Watch with the introduction of widgets.<\/p>\n

WatchOS 10 adds widgets for everything from weather information to calendar appointments on the Apple Watch. Deeper widgets’ support was also added to the latest iPad and Mac operating systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
