Although the expected launch of Apple\u2019s mixed-reality headset is just months away, some employees don\u2019t seem to think the device is ready yet, according to a report from The New York Times<\/em><\/a>. While some employees reportedly exited the project due to their doubts, others remain skeptical about the headset\u2019s potential for success \u2014 especially at a price point of $3,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Apple\u2019s widely expected to reveal<\/a> the headset at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June. According to Bloomberg<\/em>\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a>, Apple recently demoed the device in front of Apple\u2019s top 100 executives at the Steve Jobs Theater in California, \u201csuggesting that a public unveiling is getting close.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But behind the \u201cglitzy\u201d presentation, the Times<\/em> suggests that there has been some internal turmoil about the future of the mixed reality headset. While that seems pretty normal whenever a company makes a foray into a completely new product category (which is something Apple has done several times in the past), the Times<\/em> says things are different this time around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cInternal skeptics have questioned if the new device is a solution in search of a problem\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cSome internal skeptics have questioned if the new device is a solution in search of a problem,\u201d the Times<\/em> writes. \u201cUnlike the iPod, which put digital songs in people\u2019s pockets, and the iPhone, which combined the abilities of a music player and a phone, the headset hasn\u2019t been driven by the same clarity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to the Times<\/em>, doubts from both employees and Apple leadership have some workers wondering whether the company will postpone the launch of the headset. It doesn\u2019t seem like this will happen, however, as sources tell the Times<\/em> that a June launch is still a go, as \u201cheadset manufacturing is underway\u201d for the planned reveal in just a few months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
