With this news, rumors about new devices with advanced technologies will no longer be mere speculation. Just a few hours ago, Apple's latest acquisition was confirmed .

That's right, dear readers, the company has just bought Metaio , a company specializing in various augmented reality applications.

It's worth noting that this news has surprised many, given that Metaio mysteriously announced its withdrawal from the services market overnight. And according to these documents submitted by the world's leading company to the German government, they appear to be confirming Apple 's acquisition of the company.
