Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has reportedly shown its mixed reality headset to its board of directors, suggesting it is at an "advanced stage" in the device's development.

According to Bloomberg, Cupertino, California-based Apple (AAPL) has also increased the development of its headset operating system.

If the product comes to fruition, it would be the first new product launch for Apple (AAPL) since it introduced the Apple Watch in 2016.
Apple (AAPL) is set to host its annual Worldwide Developers Conference [WWDC] from June 6-10 where it will remain in an all-online format for the third year in a row, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
At its developers conference, where Apple (AAPL) emphasizes advances in software and some hardware products, the company will show off the latest changes to its operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS.
Apple (AAPL) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.
Late last year, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple (AAPL) was already working on the second-version of its headset, which could launch as soon as 2024.
