Well, a patent for an Apple VR headset has been awarded, meaning that Apple is soon to emerge with one. The patent, titled &#8220;Head-Mounted Display Apparatus For Retaining A Portable Device With Display,&#8221; shows a VR headset that will house an iPhone and come with a remote control. While such a headset would compete directly with Samsung&#8217;s Gear VR headset that runs Facebook&#8217;s Oculus Rift VR software, the headset would take cues from both Samsung&#8217;s Gear VR (the iPhone housed inside the headset, for example) and Google&#8217;s Daydream VR that works with a remote control that is easy to hold in one hand. Samsung didn&#8217;t emerge with such a hand controller on its Gear VR headset, placing a controller on the side of the headset itself.<\/p>\n<p>Patents are filed by Apple all the time, some that arrive on the market and others that do not. We do not know if Apple VR will soon become a reality, but it seems very likely that this headset won&#8217;t see the light of day until next year. Of course, with all the boring rumors we&#8217;ve heard about the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, perhaps the VR headset will be the one surprise at the iPhone announcement tomorrow. We&#8217;ll just have to wait and see to find out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.50.15-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11988\" src=\"http:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.50.15-PM-1024x698.png\" alt=\"Apple VR headset - 1\" width=\"512\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.50.15-PM-1024x698.png 1024w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.50.15-PM-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.50.15-PM-767x523.png 767w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.50.15-PM-765x521.png 765w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.50.15-PM.png 1094w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.48.20-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11989\" src=\"http:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.48.20-PM-1024x485.png\" alt=\"Apple VR headset and iPhone - 2\" width=\"512\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.48.20-PM-1024x485.png 1024w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.48.20-PM-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.48.20-PM-767x363.png 767w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.48.20-PM-765x362.png 765w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.48.20-PM.png 1162w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.50.37-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11990\" src=\"http:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-01-at-5.50.37-PM-1024x878.png\" alt=\"Apple VR headset and remote control - 3\" width=\"512\" height=\"439\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thenextweb.com\/apple\/2016\/09\/02\/newly-awarded-patent-teases-apples-vr-aspirations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quelle<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple was granted a VR headset patent for the iPhone last year, and the most recent Apple VR tweet on social media has us wondering when (not if) Apple will bring a VR headset to market.
