One of the many questions about Apple’s upcoming mixed reality headset (which could be named the “Reality Pro”) is whether the device would need to be in the presence of an iPhone to set up and operate. For example, those with an Apple Watch need an iPhone to set up the timepiece. In the early days of the Apple Watch, an iPhone had to be nearby because the timnepiece would offload complex processing tasks to the processor powering the handset.

Eventually, Apple was able to power up the device so that it could run on its own without depending on the chip inside an iPhone to handle heavy-duty tasks. The company expects its mixed-reality headset to follow the path of the Apple Watch.

The Reality Pro will use a digital crown to transition users between VR and AR
For those not able or not happy with the idea of spending up to $3,000 for the Reality Pro, a cheaper version of the headset could be offered by Apple by the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025. The name of this model could be the “Reality One.” The initial “Pro” model could sport as many as 12 cameras and offer advanced head and eye tracking sensors, support for spatial audio, and a 4K micro-LED display for each eye.
A Digital Crown (similar in design to the one found on the Apple Watch) will be used to seamlessly transition users from the immersive world of Virtual Reality (with realistic simulations of certain environments) to Augmented Reality. The latter shows a real-world feed from one of the headset’s cameras with computer-generated data superimposed on top.
