Apple is reportedly shifting its focus from developing a second-generation Vision Pro headset to creating a more affordable version of the Vision Pro. The new headset is expected to be released by the end of 2025 with a price tag between $2,000 and $1,500 and may require a tethered iPhone or Mac for some processing tasks to reduce costs. This move comes after the high-end Vision Pro, launched earlier this year, underperformed in sales. The affordable version will likely have fewer features, such as a narrower field of view and the removal of EyeSight. Taiwan's Foxconn is reported to be the manufacturing partner for the new headset. Apple is also planning to release a Vision Pro 2 as early as 2026 and lightweight AR glasses by 2027.
