The successor to Apple Vision Pro is said to launch in late 2025, featuring the new M5 chipset and integration with generative AI that is said to improve the user experience. Unfortunately, as with the $3,499 model, the significant price increase may prevent a large customer base from purchasing it again, but Apple recognizes this gap and will be releasing this next year. We plan to address the issue. Announcing a low-priced model. The latest report discusses the price of affordable mixed reality headsets, while also noting where tech giants can make compromises to reduce component spending.
A new report predicts that the lower-priced Apple Vision Pro may also lack EyeSight. The A18 Pro upgrade is on par with the M1 in multi-core performance, so it’s likely to offer plenty of performance.
The first area where manufacturing costs can be immediately reduced is on the display side, as the current generation Apple Vision Pro features two 4K micro-OLED panels. Apple was previously reported to have received display samples from Japan Display with a pixel density of 1,500 PPI, which is less than half of the Apple Vision Pro’s 3,386 PPI. Display specs for the budget headset were not discussed in Mark Garman’s Power On newsletter, but a Bloomberg correspondent said an affordable model could cost $2,000. said.
“As I reported, the Vision Products Group is working on at least four new devices. I expect lower-end Vision headsets to arrive as early as next year, with faster We expect to see a second-generation Vision Pro with a lower-end model that will probably cost around $2,000 and will likely have an inferior processor and cheaper materials. It also doesn’t have EyeSight, a breakthrough feature that shows the user’s eyes outside of the screen. With the lower price point, Apple expects this device to sell at least twice as many units as the Vision Pro. But that doesn’t make much sense.”
However, as you might expect, some features are removed from the overall package, such as the lack of EyeSight and the use of plastic instead of glass or aluminum for the chassis. We talked about the possibility of the cheaper Apple Vision Pro being treated as the A18 Pro since the chipset’s multi-core performance is on par with the M1, but with the M2 being barely faster than the previous generation, the A18 Pro is the A18. Could become a Pro. Good choice. Garman doesn’t think the second-generation Apple Vision Pro will be released in 2025, as predicted by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Instead, he believes it will launch sometime in 2026 and ship with a faster SoC, but the hardware specs were not shared in the latest newsletter. We believe we will have more detailed information by the time the new year begins, so please stay tuned for further updates.
