While Apple is counting the days to launch the Vision Pro headset, industry experts say that the company is also working on a more affordable Vision Pro. However, this version will still be expensive.
Apple's first hardware introduced after a long time. The Vision Pro VR / AR headset has not yet entered the market, but experts state that the technology giant is working on a more affordable version. According to market analyst Mark Gurman, Apple is considering "probably" getting rid of the external display on the more affordable version of the Vision Pro, reaching a price point between $1,500 and $2,500
Gurman also reiterated what he has said in recent months, saying that the more affordable version will likely run on a chip used in iPhones, have fewer cameras and have lower resolution screens inside. Ditching the external display means Apple will make EyeSight, one of the Vision Pro's key features, exclusive to the more expensive version. EyeSight is a feature that allows you to instantly see users' eyes - so they can "look" at you while you talk to them, and you can tell at a glance whether they're busy or whether they're actually seeing what's in front of them.
On the other hand, we can accept the price range that Apple focuses on as "more affordable", but we cannot say that these figures are "cheap". On the other hand, $1,500 is definitely more reasonable, at least considering the current model costs $3,499 . On the other hand, the $ 2,500 band may or may not be accepted depending on the hardware capabilities of the new model. Actually, the main problem is not the price. Currently, users have not made a decision about whether they need VR or AR headsets. And this isn't just a problem specific to Apple.
