Apple and Valve reportedly team up on AR/VR headset scheduled for 2020 release

Apple’s on-again, off-again smart headset project is currently back on, and rumors are pointing to the company working with Valve, the video game publisher also responsible for the Steam online game portal, to produce the accessory. The news comes from well-known -- but not always reliable -- online source DigiTimes, which says Apple is working with Valve on “AR head-mounted display devices,” and preparing to release them during the second half of 2020.

The report adds that Apple is working with Quanta Computer and Pegatron to assemble the units, but does not go into detail on how the headsets will work, what they will look like, or the features we can expect. The rumors come from anonymous industry sources, and should therefore be treated as speculation for now. However, it is not the first time we have heard about Apple’s augmented reality plans.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.
