AR could be more compelling than VR if the tech is there, but there's other issues. While VR has issues with mass market adoption (such as motion sickness) that AR may avoid, it will most likey still have a high price point and a lack of an ecosystem full of compelling content. I'm sure Apple has been long hard at work here but I would be surprised if this grew beyond a niche product given the state of VR now, so they definitely aren't in a rush.
