Yang claims the AR/VR headset will feature two 1.41-inch MicroOLED screens, each with a pixel density of 4,000ppi and a brightness of more than 5,000 nits. According to him, the 5000 nits specification most likely refers to peak brightness, which means the headset doesn’t dazzle the user, but rather delivers better contrast and brighter colors than other headsets available today.
For SDR displays, peak brightness is often a measure of how well a display performs in brightly lit rooms as it corresponds to maximum brightness, and for HDR displays it is a measure of how well a display renders color and contrast. In comparison, high-end TVs have a brightness of 2,000 to 5,000 nits.

However, when you look at the difference in specs between Apple’s $3,000 device and the less expensive Quest 2, it’s immediately clear just how impressive an Apple headset can be.
Apple is expected to introduce the headset, dubbed “Reality Pro,” at its developer conference starting June 5. The headset is rumored to have a physical switch from VR mode to real-life mode and enhanced hand-tracking capabilities.
