The past week brought an interesting and fairly believable speculation that this year's iPhones could offer support for Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. However, it is not yet certain whether the entire range will have the aforementioned support, or only the Pro (Max) models. In the next installment of our roundup of speculation today, we bring you more interesting details about Apple's yet-to-be-released AR/VR headset, including a description and price.

iPhone 15 and Wi-Fi 6E support

According to the latest reports from some analysts, the future iPhone 15 could also offer support for Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, among other things. Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis and Tom O'Malley shared a report last week that Apple should introduce Wi-Fi 6E support to this year's iPhones. This type of network works both in the 2?4GHz and 5GHz bands, as well as in the 6GHz band, which allows for higher wireless connection speeds and less signal interference. In order to use the 6GHz band, the device must be connected to a Wi-Fi 6E router. Wi-Fi 6E support is nothing new for Apple products – for example, it is offered by the current generation of 11″ and 12,9″ iPad Pro, 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro and Mac mini. The iPhone 14 series comes standard with Wi-Fi 6, although previous rumors suggested that it would receive an upgrade.

Details about Apple's AR/VR headset

Lately, it seems like not a week goes by without the public learning of another interesting leak and speculation related to Apple's upcoming AR/VR device. Analyst Mark Gurman from the Bloomberg agency said this week that the name of the device should be Apple Reality Pro, and Apple should present it at its WWDC conference. Later this year, Apple should start selling its headset for $3000 on the overseas market. According to Gurman, Apple wants to complete a seven-year project and the work of its technology development group with more than a thousand employees with Reality Pro.

Gurman compares the combination of materials that Apple will use for the aforementioned headset to the materials used for AirPods Max headphones. On the front side of the headset there should be a curved display, on the sides the headset should be equipped with a pair of speakers. Apple is reportedly aiming for the headset to use a modified version of the Apple M2 processor and have the battery connected to the headset by a cable that the user will carry in their pocket. The battery should reportedly be the size of two iPhone 14 Pro Max batteries stacked on top of each other and should offer up to 2 hours of battery life. The headset should also be equipped with a system of external cameras, internal sensors for tracking eye movements, or perhaps a digital crown for switching between AR and VR mode.
