Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock is on the move Friday as the company starts talking about its plans for the metaverse.
Just in case you don’t know, the metaverse is an idea for a virtual space that people can interact with. Think of it as a virtual world where people can collect for various reasons. It’s been a big push among tech companies recently and Apple doesn’t want to be left behind.
Let’s take a look at the recent metaverse news from Apple below!
- Apple hasn’t gone into great detail about its plans for the metaverse.
- However, it is developing technology for the space.
- The company is reportedly developing augmented reality (AR) headset that could be used alongside the metaverse.
- Those are rumored to come out this year or next with future plans for AR glasses.
- In addition to that, there are already more than 14,000 AR apps in Apple’s App Store.
- That number is expecting to grow as interest in the metaverse rises.

- The company was also asked about its metaverse plans by an investor during its recent earnings call.
- CEO Tim Cook fielded that question and said “We see a lot of potential in this space and are investing accordingly.”
- So while Apple hasn’t specifically revealed any metaverse plans, you can be sure the company is preparing for it.
