According to a recent report, Apple is working on a virtual reality headset that could be released as soon as 2020. The headset would be powered by a new chip that Apple is developing, and would be able to run its own apps and games as well as those from the App Store. Apple is also said to be working on a new operating system for the headset, which would be based on iOS.If Apple is indeed working on a VR headset, it would be the company's first foray into the world of virtual reality. VR is still in its infancy, but it has already seen some success with the release of the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Apple would no doubt want to get in on the action, but it remains to be seen if the company can create a headset that is both affordable and appealing to consumers.

There are rumors that Apple is working on a virtual reality headset, but the company has not officially announced anything. Some reports suggest that the headset could be released as early as 2020.

Apple has been investing in augmented reality (AR) technology, and it's possible that a VR headset could be part of that effort. Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that he sees AR as a more compelling technology than VR, so it's unclear how much focus the company would put on VR.

If Apple does release a VR headset, it would likely be a high-end product aimed at the gaming and entertainment markets.

At the moment, there are no rumours or leaks suggesting that Apple is working on a VR headset. However, that doesn't mean that the company isn't interested in VR technology. In 2017, Apple hired Doug Bowman, a leading VR researcher, to its team. Bowman was formerly the director of the Center for Human-Computer Interaction at Virginia Tech.

Apple has also been granted patents for VR technologies in the past. In 2016, the company was granted a patent for a system that would user eye-tracking to control a virtual reality headset. And in 2017, Apple was granted a patent for a headset that would allow users to listen to music and other audio content hands-free.

So while Apple hasn't announced anything yet, it's clear that the company is interested in VR.
