Tim Cook is dissatisfied with Apple's first mixed reality device
Bloomberg recently published a feature article, reporting that the final form of Apple's first MR head-mounted display device, which took seven years to develop, fell short of Cook's expectations. Bloomberg quoted several people familiar with the matter as saying that Cook's original vision was a lightweight wearable device with a built-in battery and similar to ordinary glasses, rather than a head-mounted device that looks like ski goggles and is connected to an external battery by a cable. Cook hopes it can replace some of the iPhone's functions, allowing light tasks such as browsing the web, replying to messages, and playing games. Apple's engineering department failed to achieve this goal, and the final product became a headset.
Bloomberg pointed out that Cook did not get too involved in product development, but he attached great importance to it. Because this product may be the last new product line launched during Cook's tenure. Analysts believe that it will take until at least 2027 to achieve the form of glasses that Cook hopes to achieve. According to Mark Gurman, Cook's term will end in 2025.
