Apple's biggest launch in years takes place next month and it's not a new iPhone
Apple fans are about to get their hands on one of the biggest new products Apple has launched in years. The radical Vision Pro headset, which was first shown to the world last June, is going on sale next month with Apple addicts able to strap it to their faces for the very first time.
This device, which costs an eye-watering $3,499, is more than just a bog standard VR headset with Apple calling the technology spatial computing.
Along with viewing content in a fully immersive space, users can also mix the real and virtual worlds together with applications, such as Safari, Messages and email, overlayed on top of what's physically around them. The headset is also powered by batteries meaning owners can move around whilst using it.

Mirror Online was one of the first in the world to try this technology and we were left pretty speechless by the experience. In, fact, it really is like nothing we've tested before.
