So, more AR abilities were shown at WWDC 2021 with iOS 15. So could we be finally seeing when the apple glasses, release date and price will be well today, I'm going to share what the apple specs will do, how they will work and when we expect to get our hands on them. So, let's jump right in Apple are creating some VR and AR devices the VR device at the moment is being referred to as apple VR, but the other device is more to do with AR and at the moment is looking likely. It's going to be called apple glasses. Today, I'm going to be more focusing on the AR device known at the moment, as apple glasses, giving you such details, such as the release date, along with what we expect the apple glasses price to be, and what the apple glasses features will also be anyway. Let's dive on in on what we know about the apple eyeglasses, so apple glasses, have been talked about a fair bit in the past, and we have had leaks and rumors pop up even going back to 2015, and we've also had some come up in 2017, but it wasn't until around 2019, where apple were really pushing on AR in all their keynotes and demos, and that's why Apple is likely to bring out an AR eyewear project and as the rumor mill released more and more early information, it looks like it's coming true, very soon, just take a look at the iPad Pro and the iPhone 12 announcements from last year, for example, both events talked about the new LIDAR sensor, and you guessed it.
The sensor is mainly to help with AR so a dedicated AR device is definitely incoming, so we just had WWDC 2021, but there was also a small slim chance that we could be seeing the apple glasses at this event, but nothing was shown in the end. However, again iOS 15 is showing more AR abilities, like street view, AR on your iPhone as you walk around the city or even the new live text feature, for example, the ability to take a photo or even just do a live view on your camera and then just point it at some words and then, basically, you can copy and paste or even translate or even look up what the words mean and then there's even a new feature called visual lookup. Even this is machine, learning and abilities. We'd expect to see in the new apple glasses. I think you're getting the point here, even with apple's latest software features and the introduction of the LIDAR sensor, for example, as already mentioned in the iPad Pro and the iPhone 12 models apple are doing far more in AR space, so apple glasses are close.
So how close you may ask? Well, we had a leak from Ming chi quo, saying that the apple glasses are looking to be released in the second quarter of 2022, but before you get upset that 2022 is a long way away. It is likely that apple will preview the device before that time for apple to announce the glasses and then release the product say three or even six months later. It's not unheard of either we saw the mac pro. The trash can shaped device announced in June 2013, and it actually came out five months later and then again the same with the newer mac pro that was announced in June 2019 and didn't actually come out right to the very end of 2019. Other sources, meanwhile, have said that they're still coming out, but they've been delayed by years with an AR headset, apparently landing in either 2021 or 2022, followed by AR glasses in 2023.
As you can see, it's a bit of a mess right now and there's lots of confusion and debate around when or even if, we'll get apple glasses, but the latest leak suggests that they might be announced not too long from now, but guessing our actual hands on them. That's going to be a different story entirely. So no, it's not the news we wanted exactly here, but let's take a look at the apple glasses, leaks and rumors, as well as apple's augmented reality background, and why AR specs seem like the next big move for the tech giant. One more thing I'd like to quickly talk about is the giveaway that we are doing on this channel right now, and it is for this is for a brand new MacBook Pro m1, and that's right guys, I'm going to be giving away this MacBook Pro m1 to one lucky subscriber when we get over 200 000 subscribers and all you need to do in the comments below is written. What your favorite iOS 15 features is, even if you even downloaded the beta.
Let me know what feature you'd love to try out and then just put them in the comments below and then when we get over 200 000 subscribers, I'm going to be revealing who the winner is of this MacBook Pro m1, but make sure you subscribe to the channel and hit that notification bell, because when we get over 200 000 subscribers, you all want to get that notification to find out if you're going to be the lucky winner of this brand new MacBook Pro m1. So let's get the next big item cross off the list, and that is the apple glasses price. So Cesar suggests that apple glasses will cost around 499 us dollars and that will be around 410 UK pounds and, of course that is not including any prescription charges to alter the glass lenses if needed. So, let's talk more about what you've seen in patent and specs, so our biggest leak is none other than our channel favorite john prosper john, was the first to say that apple glasses will actually be called apple glass and will be capable of displaying information on both lenses with a user controlling via gestures. Both on and in front of the frames, Jonas also said that everything will be handled by a connected.
iPhone and apple glass, supposedly won't have conventional cameras, but will have a LIDAR sensor to power. The actual AR experiences other details include that there won't be a sunglasses version, as the display won't work with tinted lenses. Also, the outside observers, looking at you directly face on, won't be able to see anything on the lenses and also at the same time as well, that the prototype at least will be made out of plastic. However, this could change for the real deal. Prada also said that apple was experimenting with a special Steve Jobs, edition version of the glasses.
That would act like an Apple Watch edition, where the company sells a certain style of its product for a higher price from another source. Mark German at Bloomberg has said that the previous information isn't correct, though so take all of this with a big pinch of salt. What john prosper has just proposed beyond that apple has been busy picking up companies with an interest in AR which suggests it's prepping its own product, and recently Tim Cook, said that apple had several new products in the pipeline. That would just blow you away, and I think one of them is apple glass. We've also seen a bunch of apple patents appear recently explaining how specialist lenses could be used to cast images on a user's eye and how an iPhone iPad could be used as a controller.
Perhaps the biggest leak was in fact an injury report out of apple's cappuccino headquarters, and it suggests that two employers had eye injuries due to working on a prototype unit. Apple has also made a number of key AR talent hires over the years, according to aroma from Bloomberg, Apple has persuaded a leading employee of NASA for the project in hiring Jeff Norris, founder of mission operation, innovation office at NASA's, jet propulsion lab his team is apparently 1.000 people strong and the AR glasses, they're working on are said to be a high quality resolution of cameras, 3d scanning and an amazing display and advanced human detection, also built straight into them. They're also, apparently working on an AR headset, which could launch first with a design like the Oculus Quest, but a lightweight more comfortable, build instead in more recent news in may 2020 apple can firmly acquire new VR, a startup that produced virtual reality, content from the likes of NBA and Fox Sports. While it's unclear how this could impact apple AR glasses, it's logical, the startup's expertise will contribute to the product design in some way, so I've been banging on about apple glasses and that they will mainly us ear, and some of you have probably heard of AR, but not fully understood what it actually does and have. I have actually seen it before.
So. To be honest, you probably actually have seen it so. Some of the most popular examples of AR are lenses and filters available on Instagram and Snapchat, the ones where, for example, you stick your tongue out and the dog's tongue appears over the top of it or your ears change into a dog's ears or your hearts coming out of your eyeballs or, for example, if you're doing a video chat, and you can put on a silly hat on top of your head, and it follows you around. They are all AR experiences. Another great example before the days of covert 19 when we could go out and about was Pok?mon, go where your poke ball and your Pok?mon could be seen for a combination of through your phone's camera and the phone's screen.
So with all these possibilities that have become reality in the last couple of years. Imagine now, if you could slip on some glasses and when you run into say a train station and your glasses automatically tell you the train times to your destination right in front of you, and it will show you arrows and guys on the floor to get you to the correct platform on time to catch your train, or maybe you say, to Siri in the middle of a supermarket. How do I make a great chicken curry and then, at that moment, on your screen straight away? It will show you all the ingredients you need, and it will guide you down all the correct aisles to the right location to pick up those ingredients, so you can take them home and make yourself a great curry. I could think of many more examples, but I think you have the idea now I will say this: the idea of AR glasses have been invented before some years ago. This was none other than Google Glass.
These advanced, smart glasses were tipped to change everything tech to the way we live by overlaying layers of information onto the real world, but thanks to people not really into this type of tech, financial problems and design challenges, they never really fully came out, apart from a few developers and testers getting their hands on them. Although the trouble story of Google Glass may sound a bit of a failure, it actually taught tech companies a great deal about building AR tech, enabled eyewear and the challenges of bringing a whole new product category to the market. It was very soon after that google pulled the plug on the Google Glass that apple invested into the AR and the AR kit they offer right now. That's where we've got to today with AR. So are you excited about the future of apple, glasses or apple glass? Will it be a piece of tech, you're, investing and get? Let me know below if you plan to get it.
