Apple is already working on its second-generation AR headset which will feature a lighter design, adopt a new battery system, and a faster processor, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today in an investor note obtained by MacRumors.

Apple is widely expected to launch its first AR-focused device in 2022. That device has been previously reported to feature a processor with Mac-level computing power and will be usable independently from an iPhone, according to Kuo. Kuo said today that the second generation of the headset, destined for launch in 2024, will feature a lighter design than the first-generation model, as well as a new battery system.

Apple has begun planning for the second-generation AR/MR headset, and the shipment schedule will likely be in 2H24. Improvements for the second generation include the lighter weight, form factor design, battery system, and processor compared to the first generation which will go to mass production in late 4Q22.
