Apple are yet to tap into the world of augmented reality despite rumours of introducing AR glasses

Rumours about Apple’s AR glasses have been spreading for years, yet the tech giant are still to provide an official update.

Tech expert and podcaster, Greg Nibler says that it could be a “game changer” if they released AR products.

“Supposedly, they’re working on these AR glasses. It’s kind of like the worst kept secret ever because everybody’s talking about it. Of course, Apple denies it, but it’s something that does seem to be coming up down the line and they’re not the first company that would be getting into AR.”

There has been talk about the software behind the supposed AR technology, dubbed realityOS.

However, it is still unknown when more information will come out about potential AR products.

Apple did announce other updates in their 2022 Worldwide Developer Conference keynote a few days ago.

Including the ability to edit and delete sent messages, greater home screen customisation and Apple’s new buy now pay later program, Apple Pay Later.

Tesla is slashing prices to stay competitive

Tesla cut the U.S. prices of its Model Y, Model X and Model S vehicles by $2,000 each, days after the first-quarter deliveries of the world’s most valuable automaker missed market expectations.

Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle (EV) maker lowered the prices for its Model Y base variant to $42,990, while the long-range and performance variants are now priced at $47,990 and $51,490, respectively, according to its website.

The basic version of the Model S now costs $72,990 and its plaid variant $87,990. The Model X base variant now costs $77,990 and its plaid variant is priced at $92,900.

Tesla North America also said in a post on X said it would end its referral program benefits in all markets after April 30.

Referral program allows buyers to get extra incentives through referrals from existing customers, a strategy long used by traditional automakers to boost sales.

Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, Reuters reported on Saturday.

On Monday Reuters reported, citing an internal memo, that the EV maker was laying off more than 10% of its global workforce.

Earlier this month Reuters reported the EV maker had canceled a long-promised inexpensive car, expected to cost $25,000, that investors had been counting on to drive mass-market growth.

The EV maker reported this month that its global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter fell for the first time in nearly four years, as price cuts failed to stir demand.

Tesla is to report first-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
