A pple has been working on its Vision Pro headset since at least 2007, it has just been revealed. This possibly makes it one of the longest development cycles of any product in the company’s history.
We know that Apple has taken at least 16 years to bring the Vision Pro to market because of a company patent that was updated in August 2023. Apple had originally applied for the patent in May 2007.
The original patent, simply titled “Headmounted display”, describes a “goggle system for providing a personal media viewing experience to a user.”
