It has been made very clear by Cook that when it comes to augmented reality, the interest labels that he has is very high and for a few concerns of the investor, this may help to ease it.

Muster even went on to say that the iPhone may be leveraged by Apple around the innovation of the augmented reality. It has been seen that there has been an expansion of the company pertaining to the research and development front with new projects being introduced.
