Goodbye cheap Apple Vision: another plan you won’t like too much

Apple’s twisted plans for the Vision Pro, which have already been revealed, appear to be in trouble. In recent days we have come across two very strong statements about this product, which also came from two very reliable sources. And despite coming from different parts of the world, their correlation predicts a less hopeful mixed reality future for Californians.

To begin with, the filter Ming-Chi Kuo announced last week that the company rejected the possibility of launching a cheaper Apple Vision. The product was rumored to be more iPhone-reliant glasses, with more modest materials and without details such as the appearance of the eyes from the outside.

In fact, these cheaper glasses were just auctioned off Mark Gurmanwho insisted on this Apple will develop a second version of Apple Vision Pro and not a cheap alternative. That is, of all possible scenarios, Cupertino would prefer to continue working with the premium mixed reality line, despite all the evidence of its low acceptance in the market.

Gourmand goes even further, stating that Apple Vision Pro 2 They may be released somewhere between fall 2025 and spring 2026. That is, if these rumors are true, there is still time to see new developments in the ecosystem.

This will be the Apple Vision Pro 2.

We already told you: you shouldn’t expect big changes in the second version. It’s too early to talk about a launch in two years, but Gurman decided to flirt with first details about Apple Vision Pro 2.

According to him, mixed reality glasses will not receive major design updatessensors or technologies. The company will focus on updating the internals, particularly the processor. By the expected date of 2025/2026, Apple will have already released its M5 chip, which will be responsible for star of the Apple Vision Pro 2 news.

“It will be almost exactly the same as the current design,” Gurman says of the second version of the Vision Pro. He also notes that the recent release of the M3 and M4 chips may slow down the popularity of the product that comes next. to a $3,500 poster with an “outdated” M2 processor.

Today it seems that Apple Vision Pro 2 is being consolidated as the company’s next big mixed reality announcement.. So, although everything is based on leaks and rumors, one might get the impression that cheap glasses are a little far from reality.
