Some of Apple's mixed reality headset weighs around 200 - 300grams, but Apple can resolve some technical issue and reduce the weight of three headset to 100 - 200grams. Mixed reality headsets will likely to be priced around $1,000 in the United States. Users will be able to use the headset independently of an iPhone.
