TL;DR: Apple may have canceled plans for a lower-cost version of the Apple Vision Pro headset, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The reasons are not provided, but cost reduction may be a factor. Apple still expects to ship 400,000 to 600,000 headsets in 2024, with a second-generation version expected in 2027.

I‘d be super interested to see what Apple‘s "low" cost version of the Vision Pro would look like. Assuming the Vision Pro is already the bare minimum for them, with some weird Apple-unlike compromises like the external battery. The outside display seems to be an obvious thing as it won’t make a huge difference to the actual user (at least directly), but I have a feeling Apple won’t ever ship a Vision headset that walls the user off.

Maybe that’s the reason, there is no version of the headset that is cheaper with everything Apple wants it to be and have, so it simply won’t happen.
