A new patent first discovered by Apple Insider points to a virtual reality headset that might one day work with the iPhone.tâs titled âHead-mounted display apparatus for retaining a portable electronic device with display.â Appleâs invention describes similar functionality to how Samsungâs Galaxy Note 4 and the Gear VR work together, with the iPhone doing a lot of the processing legwork and slipping into the headset.

If you don't, the whole VR setup will cost somewhere closer to $900 ($700 for the phone off-contract plus $200 for Gear VR).amsung built the headset, and Oculus VR helped them out with the software.
