New reports originating from Asia claim that Apple is working on several iterations of future Vision Pro headsets.
DigiTimes recently said that Apple is building four second-generation Vision Pro models, including a successor to the first and a more budget version. The cost of producing the cheaper model is about half the first-generation model, which means that the retail price will be reduced significantly. Samples will start production in 2024, and a launch in 2025 at the soonest.
Interface News had a separate report about the upcoming models for Apple’s mixed reality headset. It’s believed that the Cupertino-based company is in discussion with partners surrounding mass production, which might begin in December for about half a million units of the first-generation Vision Pro. According to the report, Apple has set a one million sales target for this year.
The upcoming Vision Pro is expected to retail for $3,499 in early 2024 in the US.
