When we first learned that Apple was reportedly aiming for a lightweight AR headset that would be no heavier than 150 grams, we thought it was to prevent wearers from experiencing fatigue. A new report takes a deeper dive into how the company is placing limitations on the upcoming device, implying that its weight could have been a deliberate move to prevent users from seeking an escape into a virtual world.

Sources close to the matter have informed Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman that Apple has thought about the metaverse but is looking to avoid it. In his ‘Power On’ newsletter, the idea of a virtual world where AR headset owners can escape to in the same manner as Meta Platforms from Facebook is off-limits. Instead of being used for countless periods, Apple reportedly wants the AR headset to be used in short bursts, though the time limit was not mentioned here.
