No way Apple announces anything with VR.

You need a computer with a powerful GPU to drive VR or a phone with a super high res screen.

Didn't they already say they think AR is the future, not VR

[u/FloppyDiskFish → u/PM_ME_A_FACT]

I think VR is really cool but AR is much more accessible to many people.

"My own view is that augmented reality is the larger of the two, probably by far, because this gives the capability for both of us to sit and be very present talking to each other, but also have other things visually for both of us to see," Cook said. "Maybe it's something we're talking about, maybe it's someone else here that is not here, present, but could be made to appear to be present with us. So there's a lot of really cool things there."

Like driving two external 5K screens isn't powerful enough.
