The design of the Apple Vision Pro creates enormous challenges in its production.

Mansana would have been forced to drastically cut production forecasts for its Apple Vision Pro.. Information comes directly from Financial Timesand from here they assure that the reason will be in the difficulties of manufacturing a mixed reality device.

In the message of the aforementioned media Apple’s dissatisfaction with the performance of its manufacturing partners responsible for technology for the Vision Pro is welcome.. Specifically, it is responsible for the two micro-OLED screens and the curved biconvex lens that the device uses. As specified, Sony and TSMC were to be responsible for the panels used in the prototypes. However, it is still unknown who will take over the reins of supply on a large scale.

Information from the aforementioned media suggests that Cupertino will drastically cut production of the Apple Vision Pro. In fact, in 2024 it could be less than 400,000 units.according to sources close to the company and to Luxshare, the Chinese manufacturer who will be in charge of assembling the device.

On the other hand, two other Chinese suppliers claim that the company would request enough components to production from 130,000 to 150,000 units in the first year of Apple Vision Pro. All these numbers well below the million units predicted by Apple. during the first twelve months of your Vision Pro.

More affordable version of Apple Vision Pro may arrive sooner than expected

On the other hand, Apple’s alleged plan to release a more affordable version of its Vision Pro is also reported, but unfortunately this project would have been delayed due to failure of suppliers to meet company expectations.

As part of the experiment, Cupertino would explore the use of mini-LED technology to reduce manufacturing costs. However, the results did not seem to be up to expectations, so they will continue to push for micro-OLED even in non-professional models..

This more affordable version of Apple Vision Pro will arrive in 2025., one year after the official launch of the first generation. Of course, first we’ll have to wait and see if Cupertino manages to solve the problems that seem to be affecting the production of today’s most anticipated gadget.

The Apple Vision Pro costs €3,500 and is scheduled to launch in the first months of 2024.. However, the time frame between the official presentation of the device and its release to the market seems to be full of problems. Most of them concerned the supply chain and not so much the time that was offered to developers to create applications compatible with the gadget.
