"Next-Gen Vision Pro Headsets: Multiple Ongoing Projects, Including Affordable Model"

Work is underway on multiple next-generation Vision Pro headsets, including a direct successor to the first-generation model and a more affordable version. The bill of materials for the cheaper headset will be half that of the first-generation model, allowing for a significantly reduced retail price. Apple is reportedly communicating with its supply chain about second- and third-generation Vision Pro products to reduce costs and boost sales. Mass production of the first-generation Vision Pro is set to begin in December, with an initial batch of 400,000 units and a sales target of one million units for 2024.

Uncertain Future for Low-Cost Apple Vision Pro, Says Kuo

Apple may have canceled plans for a lower-cost version of the Apple Vision Pro headset, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The reasons for the cancelation are unknown, but Kuo suggests that unless Apple significantly reduces costs, significant shipment growth may not occur in 2025. However, a second-generation version of the Apple Vision Pro is expected to go into mass production by the first half of 2027. Rumors suggest that Apple is working on a more affordable version of the headset, but it remains unclear how rapidly Apple can bring down component costs.

Apple's Low-Cost Vision Pro Headset: A Distant Possibility?

Apple is reportedly working on a more affordable version of its recently announced mixed-reality headset, the Vision Pro, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. While a cheaper model is not surprising, it will be a challenge for Apple to achieve without compromising on quality. Gurman suggests that savings could come from stripping out speakers and relying on separately-purchased AirPods for audio, but lowering the quality of the screens seems less likely. The more affordable version is expected to go on sale at the end of 2025, and a second Pro model with a faster processor is also reportedly in the works.
