"Unveiling the Apple Vision Pro: Price, Features, and Impact on Users"
The Apple Vision Pro AR headset costs over $3,499, with the 'Bill of Materials' totaling more than $1,500, primarily due to the expensive dual-4K micro-OLED screens, each costing $228. The remaining components were not listed, but the 4K displays make up nearly 30 percent of the total cost. Apple is reportedly evaluating Chinese display suppliers to reduce costs for the successor. A more affordable version with downgrades is expected to launch in 2025, powered by an iPhone SoC. The M2 and R1 chipsets are the second most expensive components, with mass production not expected until 2027.
