Apple has reportedly stopped development on the Vision Pro's successor to focus on creating a more affordable, lighter-weight Vision product that appeals to a broader audience1. This strategy aims to make the technology more accessible and enticing to the masses, while potentially addressing challenges in reducing costs without sacrificing key features.
The cheaper Vision device, launching in 2025, is expected to have fewer features compared to the Vision Pro. Possible compromises include a lower-resolution display, fewer sensors, a slower processor, a simpler headband design without integrated speakers, and potentially the removal of Spatial Audio feature. However, the external EyeSight display and eye- and hand-tracking systems are likely to remain, as they are considered core features.
