The latest reports from The Information suggest that Apple had temporarily halted the development of the new Vision Pro headset, splitting it into two projects – Vision Pro 2 and a more affordable Vision model. According to a supplier, the new Vision Pro project has been put on hold to focus on the release of the budget-friendly Vision headset, scheduled for next year.
The aim for Apple now is to introduce a competitively priced headset, with the current Vision Pro starting at $3,500, while the new model is expected to be around $1,500 or approximately 55,000 baht to better compete with Meta Quest.
The Information speculates that the pause on the Vision Pro 2 project is likely temporary, and Apple is expected to resume the project in the future. However, the challenge lies in creating a cheaper Vision headset as reducing specs often leads to a diminished user experience. Additionally, Apple aims to make the headset lighter as well.
