Apple, having debuted the Vision Pro headset at $3,500, is already working on a cheaper model to get the new product category onto the faces of more people. Here’s how it may do it. Also: First impressions of Apple’s new operating systems, why Tim Cook won’t wear the Vision Pro in public and Apple’s future retail stores revealed.
I think that is largely why they are introducing it at this price.
If they didn’t hit a certain level of screen quality/ resolution, it wouldn’t be useable as a head-mounted PC.
So my guess would be that a cheaper model gets introduced with similar specs and features to the AVP as we have now…. But launch it alongside an Apple vision pro 2 that has even better specs.
