a (really?) cheaper version

Apple, the technology giant, is reviewing its strategy regarding the Vision Pro, its high-end mixed reality headset. Rumors are circulating about the release of a lighter version of this technological gem, but questions remain about the compromises that will be made to reduce costs and the impact these changes will have on the user experience.

A price revised downwards, but still high

The lighter version of the Vision Pro is expected with a price ranging between 1500 and 2500 dollars. While this range is lower than the main model’s $3,499 price tag, it’s still considerable and still puts this headset in a luxury category.

The compromises: between technology and accessibility

To achieve a lower price, several modifications would be made to the original model. The number of sensors could be reduced, and an iPhone processor could replace the M2 chip, changing the headset’s performance and capabilities.

Écran EyeSight
One of the Vision Pro’s standout features, the EyeSight display, might be omitted in the lite version. This innovative screen projects the user’s eyes outwards, providing a more natural and human interaction.

Materials and Design
Less expensive materials could be used in the design, and features could be sacrificed to keep the cost lower.

Future prospects

Discussions are also underway regarding the development of a second generation of the Vision Pro. The objective would be to optimize the user experience by making the helmet lighter, more comfortable and by integrating corrective lenses.

Reflection on Apple’s strategy

The release of a stripped-down version of the Vision Pro raises questions about Apple’s strategy. Will the modifications made to the helmet justify the still high price? And how will these changes influence the market’s reception of the product and its positioning against the competition?

By offering various models of the Vision Pro, Apple seems to want to reach a wider audience, but it remains to be seen whether this diversification will be beneficial and whether it will meet user expectations in terms of price and functionality.
