Apple's mixed reality headset has moved beyond the prototype phases and is barreling toward production, according to a new report in DigiTimes that cites component suppliers. DigiTimes claims that Apple has already conducted "second-phase engineering validation and testing (EVT 2)" for the headset.

"EVT 2" is a phase along Apple's path to production. The company begins with prototypes before moving on to the first EVT (engineering validation testing) phase. "EVT 2" indicates that this is the second phase of testing for the device during that phase.

After engineering validation, Apple moves on to design validation and then to production validation before production finally begins.
