Sure, they are researching similar stuff, but is it really the same kind of Retina projection Magic leap is doing? That seems to be like their main selling point, of course if Apple can replicate the same tech and have all of their experience from software, Magic Leap will be DOA
I've heard from insiders Apple has the same tech as the Hololens andthat the Hololens and the Magic Leap tech are essentially the same (Microsoft seems to be actually ahead with the inside out tracking solution). Magic Leap was ahead with their first prototype but it was the size of a fridge. Microsoft and Apple probably had or have acquired similar tech since then.
