The company applied for a patent on Thursday for a head-mounted display that works with a "portable electronic device," or the iPhone. It appears to be a slightly updated version of a patent granted last February. Apple filed other patents related to VR headsets in 2008, 2009, and 2012.
Apple filed this patent on September 22, 2015, and the application was approved on March 24, 2016.
