Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is widely believed to be working on a mixed reality headset due to be announced this year or next and the tech giant has now been granted two more patents to add to its portfolio, Patently Apple reports.

One of the patents is for a head-mounted device, or HMD, faceplate that uses an infrared one-way finish, while the other patent covers an HMD charging system.
Apple (AAPL) shares rose slightly more than 1% to $158.40 in mid-day trading on Wednesday.
Year-to-date, Apple shares have fallen nearly 13% amid a broader decline in tech stocks, worries over rising inflation and a slowdown in the global economy.
Cupertino, California-based Apple (AAPL) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.
In late December, it was reported that Apple (AAPL) was working on the second-version of its mixed reality headset, slated to be released in 2024.
On Monday, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said that Apple's (AAPL) quarterly results will go a long way toward setting the tone for the tech sector in the coming months.
