Apple has been forced to drastically cut production of the Vision Pro, according to Financial Times sources.
The reasons were the characteristics of the design of the helmet and the requirements in production. Apple also postponed plans to release a budget mixed reality helmet.
The biggest requirements for OLEDoS screens, which are produced by Sony in conjunction with TSMC. This is the most expensive part in the results, and it has a lot of defects.
The release of Vision Pro will be the Chinese company Luxshare. In 2024, she intends to release 400,000 Vision Pro. At the same time, two unnamed Chinese suppliers that produce components for the helmet come with orders from Apple for 130-150 thousand parts.
Apple is expected to release 1 million Vision Pros in 2024. Analysts say that such a significant decrease in production suggests that Apple still cannot scale it. [Financial Times]
