Apple tends to cater to the higher end of the (US) market; so it might grab a small portion of LG s sales, Gartner analyst Tuong Nguyen said. It s more likely that Samsung inherits a lot of it because both vendors compete across similar markets.
Globally, LG s market share shrank to 2 per cent in 2020, a massive drop from its status as the world s third-largest smartphone maker behind Samsung Electronics and Apple during its peak in 2013.
The company shipped 23 million phones last year, compared with Samsung s 256 million, according to Counterpoint.
Counterpoint analyst Tarun Pathak said LG was mostly competing in the mid-tier, as its flagship phones received tepid market response.
Over the past two years, Microsoft has worked with the US Army on the prototyping phase of what is called the Integrated Visual Augmentation System, or IVAS. The company said the US Army had moved into the production phase of the project.
In a blog post, Microsoft technical fellow Alex Kipman said the headsets are designed to deliver enhanced situational awareness, enabling information sharing and decision-making in a variety of scenarios .
The headsets will be manufactured in the US, according to the Microsoft spokesman.
This is not the first time Microsoft has worked with military to develop AR capabilities.
In 2019, the British Army began trialling HoloLens 2 headsets with 1,500 military personnel to help frontline medics carry out operations in war zones. The devices are programmed to send instructions to those providing emergency medical treatment on the ground from specialists anywhere in the world.

Epic Games founder and chief executive Tim Sweeney said Apple s control of its platform had tilted the level playing field. The 30 per cent they charge as their app tax, they can make it 50 per cent or 90 per cent or 100 per cent. Under their theory of how these markets are structured, they have every right to do that, he told reporters. Epic is not asking any court or regulator to change this 30 per cent to some other number, only to restore competition on IOS, he said, referring to Apple s mobile operating system.
The company also accused Apple of barring rivals from launching their own gaming subscription service on its platform by preventing them from bundling several games together, even though its own Apple Arcade service does that.
