This is a move aimed at attracting more buyers, as the current $3,500 Vision Pro is considered a niche product due to its high price.
The new model will be made from cheaper materials, have less powerful hardware, and will also lose the EyeSight function, which shows the user’s eyes to others.
Despite the concessions, Apple expects a significant increase in sales of the cheaper version.
The full second generation Vision Pro is expected to be released only in 2026. Additionally, the company is developing smart glasses with scanning functionality that can instantly translate text and provide additional information about places or events, similar to Visual Intelligence on the iPhone 16.
