A First Look At Apple’s New Augmented Reality App ‘ARKit’ | CNBC

Magic Leap has been working on its technology to mix computer-generated images with the real world mostly in private for seven years, with backing from Google, Alibaba and other powerhouses. Now, the first product is finally here, and CNBC’s Todd Haselton got to try it. Here’s what he learned.

Magic Leap has been shrouded in mystery since its inception seven years ago.

The company has spent almost a decade working on technology that superimposes computer-generated images over the real world in your field of vision. It has raised more than $2.3 billion from powerhouses such as Alphabet’s Google, Alibaba, Saudi Arabia and J.P. Morgan. Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai sits on the board. The company and its founder have been the subject of glowing coverage from publications like Wired and Forbes. And all of this — the money and the press — came before Magic Leap had ever showed its product to the general public.

Now the product is here. It’s called the Magic Leap One Creator’s Edition, and I had a chance to see if it lived up to the hype.

It costs $2,295. That’s a lot, but it’s not being sold to consumers just yet. Instead, Magic Leap will sell it to people who the company hopes will build more apps and games for the device.

Until now, only partners, celebrities and other VIPs had seen Magic Leap’s technology. CNBC was invited to be among the first to see the final product.

AMD is one of the best performing chip stocks of 2026, following a decade-long comeback in data center chips. Now, it’s making its biggest competitive move against Nvidia yet. AMD’s first rack-scale system for AI, Helios, is shipping later this year – and it’s the world’s first competitor to Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems. Now, Microsoft has signed up to use Helios in its data centers, joining other customers Meta, OpenAI and Oracle. But with a price tag of at least $5 million, analysts estimate Helios will cost at least $1 million more than Nvidia Vera Rubin. CNBC got an exclusive first look inside the 7,000 pound behemoth, and sat down with AMD data center and AI leads to ask how its first-generation AI system can compete with Nvidia – and what sets it apart.

Corporate America is getting rocked by historic rounds of white-collar layoffs, leading some to wonder: Has AI finally come for their jobs?

While the proliferation of generative and agentic artificial intelligence is playing a role, recent job cut announcements from companies like Amazon, UPS and Target are about a lot more than just the advance of new technology.
