According to the Taiwanese mediaDigiTimeswhich reports the affair in a new article, Apple is reportedly considering unveiling up to four new models of mixed reality headsets. This would be the second generation of theVision Pro, which should be released in 2024 in the United States. The marketing date for the French market remains unknown for the moment, but the manufacturer could reveal it by the next semester.
Within this supposed future quartet, our source of the day believes that a more affordable edition of the pointed frame would indeed be on the menu. Several other informants have already mentioned this possibility. As a reminder, when it was presented, the Apple Watch was also much more expensive than the editions that followed. However, the Vision Pro still costs a whopping $3,499 across the Atlantic…
The performance impasse?
To benefit from a lower price, however, consumers may have to give up certain key advantages of the current Vision Pro. First of all, its screen, of course. This is in fact made up of two 4K panels; one for each eye. But the overall power may also be reduced, because Apple's headset is today powered by an M1 processor and another chip dedicated to virtual reality, the R1.
According to most studies on the issue, it is the motherboards and screens that cost the most. Whether on the side ofMac, mixed reality headsets or iPhones from Cupertino. The latter today remain considered one of the best-selling smartphone ranges in the world, often neck and neck with the Galaxy from Korean Samsung.
You will have to wait
Unfortunately, for the moment, it remains very difficult to get an idea of the release date of this potential more affordable Apple Vision Pro. However, it is unlikely that the device will see the light of day before 2026, according to certain timetables specified by analysts previously.
The release date of the first model, meanwhile, could be revealed for the European market during the Worldwide Developer Conference in June 2024.
