And nobody talks about Facebook Oculus while it's already eaten a big chunk of market share.

Meta Holdings also have their own AR/VR headset, which will be compatible with their platform eventually. Apple will have to compete with that...

Remember Warren Buffet golden advice. When people are rushing in, time to get out. A stock cannot keep going up, it will come down after the europhoria subsides....patience needed.....

How exciting to know that Apple is very much into Metaverse with their new product Apple Glass, a AR/VR headset. No wonder the stock is hitting all time high making the USD 3 Trillion market capitalisation almost a reality. Go Apple! 🍎🍎🍎🚀🚀🚀🌙🌙🌙

this is a market that is exciting and promises great returns. first mover may not always have advantages and more importantly, regulations are needed to protect users and address any potential criminal exploitations. this will be interesting as this is under a new world order where laws of countries may apply differently and thus, be taken advantage of.now, it is businesses (who are profit driven) who set the structure for this virtual world. thus, let's continue to exercise caution as we navigate this platform. with opportunity comes risks.

It's about erasing the boundaries between the real world and the virtual world while creating a multibillion-dollar market for companies to tap into. Emergen Research estimates that the metaverse could generate close to $829 billion in revenue by 2028, clocking a compound annual growth rate of 43% over that long run.\nWhen looking for great ways to tap into this huge opportunity, consider what Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is doing. The tech giant is reportedly working on a device that could help millions of people experience the metaverse.\nLet's look closely at Apple's metaverse plans and see why it could win big in this market.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nWhy headsets will be critical for the metaverse's growth\nAugmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)-enabled headsets will open the window to the metaverse for consumers willing to experience this new technology. That's because they create a virtual world (in the case of a VR headset) or merge the virtual and real worlds (in the case of AR headsets). These headsets are likely to be the first point of contact for anyone looking to get into the metaverse, whether it be to work, play, or study.\nNot surprisingly, the demand for such headsets is expected to go through the roof. Market research firm IDC forecasts that sales of VR headsets could increase from an estimated 8 million units in 2021 to 29 million units in 2025. Meanwhile, sales of AR headsets are expected to jump to 21 million headsets in 2025 from just 1 million units this year.\nThe research firm points out that the headset market's growth will be driven by the adoption of new applications such as virtual fitness classes or other events, in addition to gaming. The good news is that Apple is reportedly preparing to take advantage of this huge opportunity.\nApple's headsets could dominate the AR/VR market\nMing-Chi Kuo, a noted analyst covering Apple for financial services provider TF International Securities, says (via 9to5Mac) that the iPhone maker could launch its first-generation AR/VR headset next year. According to Kuo, Apple's headset is likely to integrate both AR and VR functions into a single device. He adds that the first-generation headsets are likely to be powered by a high-end chip and could come equipped with high-resolution displays.\nThe analyst estimates that Apple could ship 2.5 million to 3.5 million of these headsets in 2023. However, things could get better the following year, as the tech titan is expected to launch a second-generation headset in the second half of 2024. The updated headset is expected to be powered by a faster processor while being lighter and carrying more battery life.\nApple is expected to ship 10 million units of the second-generation headset after its launch, which means that it could capture a fifth of the overall AR/VR headset market by 2025, based on IDC's total shipment estimates of 50 million units. What's more, Apple's headsets are expected to have a starting price of $1,000, according to Kuo, so this new product line could generate billions of dollars in revenue in the next four years.\nMore importantly, the AR/VR market could consistently drive strong growth at Apple in the long run, as this space is expected to clock a 43% annual growth rate through 2030, according to a third-party report. It isn't surprising to hear that Apple is interested in this market: It could open a new growth avenue for the company and complement Apple's other catalysts. All this makes Apple a top tech stock to buy to take advantage of the emerging metaverse opportunity.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":607536129,"gmtCreate":1639559514680,"gmtModify":1639559514817,"author":{"id":"4091842669394280","authorId":"4091842669394280","name":"Galaxy88","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/607536129","repostId":2191995516,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2191995516","pubTimestamp":1639536544,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2191995516?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-15 10:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Apple Is a Top Metaverse Stock to Buy Right Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2191995516","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The tech titan may have found a great way to tap into the market for metaverse stocks.","content":"<p>The \"metaverse\" is the latest buzzword in the technology sector.

It's about erasing the boundaries between the real world and the virtual world while creating a multibillion-dollar market for companies to tap into. Emergen Research estimates that the metaverse could generate close to $829 billion in revenue by 2028, clocking a compound annual growth rate of 43% over that long run.\nWhen looking for great ways to tap into this huge opportunity, consider what Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is doing. The tech giant is reportedly working on a device that could help millions of people experience the metaverse.\nLet's look closely at Apple's metaverse plans and see why it could win big in this market.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nWhy headsets will be critical for the metaverse's growth\nAugmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)-enabled headsets will open the window to the metaverse for consumers willing to experience this new technology. That's because they create a virtual world (in the case of a VR headset) or merge the virtual and real worlds (in the case of AR headsets). These headsets are likely to be the first point of contact for anyone looking to get into the metaverse, whether it be to work, play, or study.\nNot surprisingly, the demand for such headsets is expected to go through the roof. Market research firm IDC forecasts that sales of VR headsets could increase from an estimated 8 million units in 2021 to 29 million units in 2025. Meanwhile, sales of AR headsets are expected to jump to 21 million headsets in 2025 from just 1 million units this year.\nThe research firm points out that the headset market's growth will be driven by the adoption of new applications such as virtual fitness classes or other events, in addition to gaming. The good news is that Apple is reportedly preparing to take advantage of this huge opportunity.\nApple's headsets could dominate the AR/VR market\nMing-Chi Kuo, a noted analyst covering Apple for financial services provider TF International Securities, says (via 9to5Mac) that the iPhone maker could launch its first-generation AR/VR headset next year. According to Kuo, Apple's headset is likely to integrate both AR and VR functions into a single device. He adds that the first-generation headsets are likely to be powered by a high-end chip and could come equipped with high-resolution displays.\nThe analyst estimates that Apple could ship 2.5 million to 3.5 million of these headsets in 2023. However, things could get better the following year, as the tech titan is expected to launch a second-generation headset in the second half of 2024. The updated headset is expected to be powered by a faster processor while being lighter and carrying more battery life.\nApple is expected to ship 10 million units of the second-generation headset after its launch, which means that it could capture a fifth of the overall AR/VR headset market by 2025, based on IDC's total shipment estimates of 50 million units. What's more, Apple's headsets are expected to have a starting price of $1,000, according to Kuo, so this new product line could generate billions of dollars in revenue in the next four years.\nMore importantly, the AR/VR market could consistently drive strong growth at Apple in the long run, as this space is expected to clock a 43% annual growth rate through 2030, according to a third-party report. It isn't surprising to hear that Apple is interested in this market: It could open a new growth avenue for the company and complement Apple's other catalysts.

It's about erasing the boundaries between the real world and the virtual world while creating a multibillion-dollar market for companies to tap into. Emergen Research estimates that the metaverse could generate close to $829 billion in revenue by 2028, clocking a compound annual growth rate of 43% over that long run.\nWhen looking for great ways to tap into this huge opportunity, consider what Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is doing. The tech giant is reportedly working on a device that could help millions of people experience the metaverse.\nLet's look closely at Apple's metaverse plans and see why it could win big in this market.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nWhy headsets will be critical for the metaverse's growth\nAugmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)-enabled headsets will open the window to the metaverse for consumers willing to experience this new technology. That's because they create a virtual world (in the case of a VR headset) or merge the virtual and real worlds (in the case of AR headsets). These headsets are likely to be the first point of contact for anyone looking to get into the metaverse, whether it be to work, play, or study.\nNot surprisingly, the demand for such headsets is expected to go through the roof. Market research firm IDC forecasts that sales of VR headsets could increase from an estimated 8 million units in 2021 to 29 million units in 2025. Meanwhile, sales of AR headsets are expected to jump to 21 million headsets in 2025 from just 1 million units this year.\nThe research firm points out that the headset market's growth will be driven by the adoption of new applications such as virtual fitness classes or other events, in addition to gaming. The good news is that Apple is reportedly preparing to take advantage of this huge opportunity.\nApple's headsets could dominate the AR/VR market\nMing-Chi Kuo, a noted analyst covering Apple for financial services provider TF International Securities, says (via 9to5Mac) that the iPhone maker could launch its first-generation AR/VR headset next year. According to Kuo, Apple's headset is likely to integrate both AR and VR functions into a single device. He adds that the first-generation headsets are likely to be powered by a high-end chip and could come equipped with high-resolution displays.\nThe analyst estimates that Apple could ship 2.5 million to 3.5 million of these headsets in 2023. However, things could get better the following year, as the tech titan is expected to launch a second-generation headset in the second half of 2024. The updated headset is expected to be powered by a faster processor while being lighter and carrying more battery life.\nApple is expected to ship 10 million units of the second-generation headset after its launch, which means that it could capture a fifth of the overall AR/VR headset market by 2025, based on IDC's total shipment estimates of 50 million units. What's more, Apple's headsets are expected to have a starting price of $1,000, according to Kuo, so this new product line could generate billions of dollars in revenue in the next four years.\nMore importantly, the AR/VR market could consistently drive strong growth at Apple in the long run, as this space is expected to clock a 43% annual growth rate through 2030, according to a third-party report. It isn't surprising to hear that Apple is interested in this market: It could open a new growth avenue for the company and complement Apple's other catalysts.

It's about erasing the boundaries between the real world and the virtual world while creating a multibillion-dollar market for companies to tap into. Emergen Research estimates that the metaverse could generate close to $829 billion in revenue by 2028, clocking a compound annual growth rate of 43% over that long run.\nWhen looking for great ways to tap into this huge opportunity, consider what Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is doing. The tech giant is reportedly working on a device that could help millions of people experience the metaverse.\nLet's look closely at Apple's metaverse plans and see why it could win big in this market.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nWhy headsets will be critical for the metaverse's growth\nAugmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)-enabled headsets will open the window to the metaverse for consumers willing to experience this new technology. That's because they create a virtual world (in the case of a VR headset) or merge the virtual and real worlds (in the case of AR headsets). These headsets are likely to be the first point of contact for anyone looking to get into the metaverse, whether it be to work, play, or study.\nNot surprisingly, the demand for such headsets is expected to go through the roof. Market research firm IDC forecasts that sales of VR headsets could increase from an estimated 8 million units in 2021 to 29 million units in 2025. Meanwhile, sales of AR headsets are expected to jump to 21 million headsets in 2025 from just 1 million units this year.\nThe research firm points out that the headset market's growth will be driven by the adoption of new applications such as virtual fitness classes or other events, in addition to gaming. The good news is that Apple is reportedly preparing to take advantage of this huge opportunity.\nApple's headsets could dominate the AR/VR market\nMing-Chi Kuo, a noted analyst covering Apple for financial services provider TF International Securities, says (via 9to5Mac) that the iPhone maker could launch its first-generation AR/VR headset next year. According to Kuo, Apple's headset is likely to integrate both AR and VR functions into a single device. He adds that the first-generation headsets are likely to be powered by a high-end chip and could come equipped with high-resolution displays.\nThe analyst estimates that Apple could ship 2.5 million to 3.5 million of these headsets in 2023. However, things could get better the following year, as the tech titan is expected to launch a second-generation headset in the second half of 2024. The updated headset is expected to be powered by a faster processor while being lighter and carrying more battery life.\nApple is expected to ship 10 million units of the second-generation headset after its launch, which means that it could capture a fifth of the overall AR/VR headset market by 2025, based on IDC's total shipment estimates of 50 million units. What's more, Apple's headsets are expected to have a starting price of $1,000, according to Kuo, so this new product line could generate billions of dollars in revenue in the next four years.\nMore importantly, the AR/VR market could consistently drive strong growth at Apple in the long run, as this space is expected to clock a 43% annual growth rate through 2030, according to a third-party report.

It's about erasing the boundaries between the real world and the virtual world while creating a multibillion-dollar market for companies to tap into. Emergen Research estimates that the metaverse could generate close to $829 billion in revenue by 2028, clocking a compound annual growth rate of 43% over that long run.\nWhen looking for great ways to tap into this huge opportunity, consider what Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is doing. The tech giant is reportedly working on a device that could help millions of people experience the metaverse.\nLet's look closely at Apple's metaverse plans and see why it could win big in this market.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nWhy headsets will be critical for the metaverse's growth\nAugmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)-enabled headsets will open the window to the metaverse for consumers willing to experience this new technology. That's because they create a virtual world (in the case of a VR headset) or merge the virtual and real worlds (in the case of AR headsets). These headsets are likely to be the first point of contact for anyone looking to get into the metaverse, whether it be to work, play, or study.\nNot surprisingly, the demand for such headsets is expected to go through the roof. Market research firm IDC forecasts that sales of VR headsets could increase from an estimated 8 million units in 2021 to 29 million units in 2025. Meanwhile, sales of AR headsets are expected to jump to 21 million headsets in 2025 from just 1 million units this year.\nThe research firm points out that the headset market's growth will be driven by the adoption of new applications such as virtual fitness classes or other events, in addition to gaming. The good news is that Apple is reportedly preparing to take advantage of this huge opportunity.\nApple's headsets could dominate the AR/VR market\nMing-Chi Kuo, a noted analyst covering Apple for financial services provider TF International Securities, says (via 9to5Mac) that the iPhone maker could launch its first-generation AR/VR headset next year. According to Kuo, Apple's headset is likely to integrate both AR and VR functions into a single device. He adds that the first-generation headsets are likely to be powered by a high-end chip and could come equipped with high-resolution displays.\nThe analyst estimates that Apple could ship 2.5 million to 3.5 million of these headsets in 2023. However, things could get better the following year, as the tech titan is expected to launch a second-generation headset in the second half of 2024. The updated headset is expected to be powered by a faster processor while being lighter and carrying more battery life.\nApple is expected to ship 10 million units of the second-generation headset after its launch, which means that it could capture a fifth of the overall AR/VR headset market by 2025, based on IDC's total shipment estimates of 50 million units. What's more, Apple's headsets are expected to have a starting price of $1,000, according to Kuo, so this new product line could generate billions of dollars in revenue in the next four years.\nMore importantly, the AR/VR market could consistently drive strong growth at Apple in the long run, as this space is expected to clock a 43% annual growth rate through 2030, according to a third-party report.

The good news is that Apple is reportedly preparing to take advantage of this huge opportunity.\nApple's headsets could dominate the AR/VR market\nMing-Chi Kuo, a noted analyst covering Apple for financial services provider TF International Securities, says (via 9to5Mac) that the iPhone maker could launch its first-generation AR/VR headset next year. According to Kuo, Apple's headset is likely to integrate both AR and VR functions into a single device. He adds that the first-generation headsets are likely to be powered by a high-end chip and could come equipped with high-resolution displays.\nThe analyst estimates that Apple could ship 2.5 million to 3.5 million of these headsets in 2023. However, things could get better the following year, as the tech titan is expected to launch a second-generation headset in the second half of 2024. The updated headset is expected to be powered by a faster processor while being lighter and carrying more battery life.\nApple is expected to ship 10 million units of the second-generation headset after its launch, which means that it could capture a fifth of the overall AR/VR headset market by 2025, based on IDC's total shipment estimates of 50 million units. What's more, Apple's headsets are expected to have a starting price of $1,000, according to Kuo, so this new product line could generate billions of dollars in revenue in the next four years.\nMore importantly, the AR/VR market could consistently drive strong growth at Apple in the long run, as this space is expected to clock a 43% annual growth rate through 2030, according to a third-party report. It isn't surprising to hear that Apple is interested in this market: It could open a new growth avenue for the company and complement Apple's other catalysts. All this makes Apple a top tech stock to buy to take advantage of the emerging metaverse opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":6994079,"gmtCreate":1639583590418,"gmtModify":1639583590447,"authorId":3556756933727652,"author":{"id":3556756933727652,"authorId":3556756933727652,"name":"458b6d98","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":607290459,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>Bruh</u>","text":"<u>Bruh</u>","html":"<u>Bruh</u>"},{"id":6991939,"gmtCreate":1639574073902,"gmtModify":1639574074006,"authorId":3585918143276151,"author":{"id":3585918143276151,"authorId":3585918143276151,"name":"kellyditte","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6802f171811670eb6e24d69a873e8f09","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":607290459,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Good","text":"Good","html":"Good"}],"langContent":"CN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":235,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":3,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
