Apple’s headset, which could cost around $3,000, will reportedly be able to run its existing iPad apps like Books, Camera, Contacts, Freeform and Mail with little to no extra work. It’ll also work with “hundreds of thousands” of third-party iPad apps, according to Bloomberg. And you might be able to watch live sports, news and videos with immersive environments. 

The headset, which would join a market that includes the PlayStation VR 2 and the Meta Quest 3, will reportedly have a large gaming focus, which could mean another platform for Apple Arcade games. It’s also expected to have a wellness app with meditations and calming sounds. You could also get access to fitness services that allow you to work out while wearing the headset.

In addition, the device will reportedly include an external battery that the users can keep in their pocket and attach magnetically with a cable. The headset will also have a USB-C connector for data transfers.
