I'm suddenly feeling super behind on the news. While I believe I've heard rumors about Apple working on augmented reality, I can't think of any such product announcements coming down the pipeline. > While Apple and Microsoft strain to sell augmented reality as the next major computing platform, Is that accurate? Is Apple putting a lot of effort into selling AR?

Well you have the references to some kind of Glass-esque product in Xcode, and ARKit has been a part of iPhones since the X. It's interesting stuff but Apple doesn't seem to be interested in the fully immersive headsets so many other companies are. Microsoft seems to be doing a bit of both? But they aren't super focused on it. Frankly I think the use of the word "strain" in that quote is a strain itself. They're definitely working on it, and it's there, but I wouldn't call it a feature they expect to shift units.

Not that I've heard. They have ARKit which is getting decent updates but it seems to be limited to the Pokemon GO / AR measurement tool that ships with iOS -type phone use-cases. Not one of their top priority afaik.
