China's rising star Luxshare
This choice of Apple draws attention especially in this period of increasing tension between the USA and China . According to incoming information, China's rapidly rising technology manufacturing company Luxshare has taken over the AR development team in Shanghai , which was previously owned by Taiwan's Pegatron . The company plans to grab as many jobs as possible from Apple in as many areas as possible .
In previous years , Apple relied on Taiwanese companies like Foxconn to help develop the first generations of new product lines . Apple's first augmented reality headset is expected to be announced in June this year . According to preliminary reports, the device will go on sale at the end of 2023 and its cost is expected to be quite high (3-5 thousand dollars).
