The presentation of the Apple RealityPro it is imminent. With one of Apple's most anticipated events approaching, this June 5 during WWDC 2023, industry insiders have begun to debate how the company could excel in a niche that is neither new nor popular.

Thus, and taking into account a report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRPs) that measures the rate of adoption of Apple products, it could have a good percentage within the users of the Apple ecosystem, despite its estimated price of 3,000 dollars, and even 1,500 according to those optimists who believe that Apple will sacrifice part of its profit to drive sales.

The adoption rate of mixed reality headsets of Apple among iPhone users could be similar to that of AirPods and Apple Watch. According to CIRP, about 60% of iPhone owners with Bluetooth headsets own AirPods, while more than 75% of iPhone owners with a smartwatch own an Apple Watch.
