It is known that many companies have shown interest in the Metaverse world, which has become more popular with each passing day after Facebook changed its name to Meta.
Metaverse, the popular technology of recent times, has also caused a race between companies.
While the ‘Metaverse War’ continued between companies, Apple made surprise bonuses to its best performing engineers in order not to lose their employees to Meta.
Although Apple has given bonuses to its employees, about 100 engineers from Apple have switched to Meta in the past few months, according to Bloomberg’s sources. Meanwhile, there was a transition from senior Meta employees to Apple.
Apple has been silent about the Metaverse universe for a long time, but while working in the background, Apple CEO Tim Cook made a statement about the Metaverse.
Apple CEO Tim Cook’s statements are as follows:
We are an innovative company. We are always discovering new things. We also see a lot of potential in Metaverse and invest accordingly. The company allocates more budget to R&D studies than before.
On the other hand, it is known that Apple has been working on VR virtual reality glasses for a long time.
Although Tim Cook has made such an opening, in the special bulletin of Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, “Apple is not looking forward to the Metaverse yet, and with this Apple VR virtual reality glasses, which Apple is expected to come out in 2023-2024, Metaverse is a reality. It does not aim to create a universe.”
