Last week, there were reports of Apple shifting its focus towards developing Apple Vision Pro and Spatial Computing from releasing a new upgraded hardware spec version to a more affordable model next year. The latest information from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg sheds more light on this matter.
Gurman reveals that Apple is working on a more affordable version of Vision Pro (which may no longer carry the “Pro” moniker) with the internal code name N107. The key differences from the current model include a narrower field of view and the need for constant connection to an iPhone or Mac during operation, which reduces processing costs for the headset. The launch is expected within the first quarter of 2025.
Furthermore, Gurman mentions that Apple has not canceled or suspended the development of the new version of Vision Pro. This project, coded as N109, aims to improve processing speeds, enhance the all-around cameras, and introduce a lighter design for enhanced comfort. However, the actual launch has been pushed from 2025 to the end of 2026.
