The cheap Vision Pro would have been shelved and Apple would have relied on the iPhone as an affordable alternative.

Expected cheap version Apple Vision Pro You will have to wait much longer than originally expected. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Cupertino residents delayed its launch. after 2027when they were initially expected to be able to enter the market at the end of 2025.

According to the analyst, the reason why Apple delayed the release of the cheaper Vision Pro was that the price cuts would not be enough to create new use cases that would boost sales. If what he suggests is true, those around him will bet on waiting for the widespread adoption of virtual and mixed reality headsets into everyday life.

But the delay in introducing the low-cost variant won’t mean Apple isn’t planning to update the Vision Pro catalog before 2027. The above expects the company to introduce new model 2025the only big novelty of which compared to the current one will be the integration of a yet unannounced chip M5.

Kuo isn’t the only one hoping for update in the Apple Vision Pro processor. In the latest newsletter. BloombergMark Gurman also reported that the Californians are preparing a hardware update. Although he did not specify whether the chosen component would be the M5 or whether it would arrive next year. Let’s keep in mind that Apple’s “spatial computer” is powered by an M2 processor.

While he didn’t confirm the launch delay, Gurman did confirm that Apple is still working on a cheaper Vision Pro. But that’s not all, because from Cupertino too they would be I’m “seriously thinking” about releasing iPhone-connected glasses.

A cheap Vision Pro will appear after 2027, and Apple will be able to release smart glasses that connect to the iPhone.

According to the journalist Bloomberg, The glasses will become an accessory for the iPhone.as the mobile phone will take over the processing tasks. It even mentions that its main purpose – or at least one of the most important – will be the consumption of content such as TV series or movies.

Without having to deal with processing on the deviceAs with Apple’s Vision Pro, they could be smaller and lighter, with far fewer components, and far more affordable. Gurman believes this type of product would be especially useful for Apple because it would validate the iPhone as a critical pillar of its ecosystem.

As is always the case, this is unofficial information and should be taken with a grain of salt. Let’s keep in mind that there is no mention of possible release dates or anything like that. Thus, it is impossible to know whether these glasses are already a prototype device or whether they are still on the drawing board.

Much has been said this year about the performance of the Apple Vision Pro and its predictions for the future. In June, it was reported that Tim Cook had suspended development of a direct successor to his current virtual/mixed reality headset. focus on the cheaper option.

Supposedly, Apple’s original idea was to introduce a low-cost Vision Pro model this year, but since they couldn’t develop a prototype to their satisfaction, they delayed them until late 2025. If what Kuo is pointing out now is correct, wait. will be extended for at least 2 years.

Previous rumors indicated that the most affordable Apple Vision Pro they may not have the last name “Pro.”after everything. Its development will include the removal of several currently available features, such as the EyeSight head-up display, 3D cameras, and spatial audio support. As for its price, it was speculated that it could be around the same as what the most expensive iPhone Pro Max costs today. Be that as it may, history suggests that we will have to wait a long time before its official launch.

As for the original Vision Pro, a recent report states that Apple may cease their production until the end of 2024. This will happen because the company will have sufficient supply of units to meet current demand. The product will debut in two new markets this month: South Korea and the United Arab Emirates.
