Apple's AR/VR headset faces skepticism from employees and critics alike.

Reports of turmoil surrounding Apple's rumored AR/VR headset project are not reflective of the company's usual formula for success. While concerns about price, technology, and market exist, it is unlikely that Apple would release a $3,000 headset that only a few could afford. CEO Tim Cook is deeply committed to augmented reality, and the headset is expected to be a mixed reality system that allows users to dial their reality in and out. While there may be spirited discussion about the product, the disarray being described in some reports is not typical of Apple's product development process.
