Successor and Budget Version Incoming: A new report suggests that Apple will launch both a successor to the Vision Pro and a cheaper Vision headset within the next two years.

Lower Price: The budget version is expected to cost around $2,000, compared to the $3,499 price of the Vision Pro.

Lower Specs: The cheaper model will likely feature a less-powerful chip and lower-resolution screens than the high-end Vision Pro.

No Eyesight Feature: It will exclude the Eyesight feature found in the Vision Pro, which uses a lenticular display to show the wearer’s eyes to others.

A-Series Chip: The budget headset is rumored to use an A-series chip (from future iPhones) instead of the M2 chip powering the Vision Pro.

Lighter Materials: The new model is expected to focus on lighter materials, making it more comfortable for extended wear.

Target Market: The lower-end headset is likely aimed at broader audiences by offering a more affordable option for mixed-reality experiences.

Design Trade-offs: Some premium design elements from the Vision Pro may be simplified or removed to reduce costs.

Possible Release Window: Both the successor to the Vision Pro and the budget version are expected within the next two years, though exact dates remain unclear.

Mixed Reality Focus: Despite the lower price, the budget model will likely retain core AR/VR features, focusing on immersive experiences.

Competitive Strategy: The launch of a cheaper model may help Apple compete with other mixed-reality headsets like Meta’s Quest series.
