Apple has decided to temporarily halt work on a high-end successor to its Vision Pro headset in order to focus on releasing a more affordable version by the end of 2025, as reported by The Information. This decision comes as the current Vision Pro, with a starting price of $3500, is considered too expensive and heavy for most consumers. The new model will have fewer features but will still use high-resolution micro-OLED displays and be significantly lighter. Apple aims to make this headset as affordable as a high-end iPhone by leveraging new suppliers from China to bring down costs. While the high-end successor is currently on hold, it is not canceled, leaving the possibility for development to resume after the cheaper headset launches. Various reports from supply chain analysts and reputable sources have indicated Apple's ongoing efforts towards a more budget-friendly Vision headset, with potential pricing and technical details surfacing over the past year.
