The rumors come from Chinese site Economic Daily (via TechRadar) citing “market reports.” Not only is Apple said to be releasing a $5,000 gaming machine, but the device will supposedly mark the company’s entrance into the esports market. These are some pretty bold claims about a company that has largely ignored the booming gaming scene over the years. The rumor itself is also quite vague. According to the report, Apple is working on either an all-in-one, like an iMac with a high-end discrete GPU, or a large-screen laptop similar to the 16-inch MacBook Pro....

Understandably, the illustrations in the patent do look like spectacles, but because the patent describes the head-mounted display as a system that can slot in a “portable electronic device” (i.e. iPhone) for the wearer’s visual pleasure, we figured it must be Apple’s buzzworthy headset.
