Earlier this year, Apple introduced the $3,500 Vision Pro mixed reality headset. To increase the mass appeal of the product, the company plans to release a more affordable version to the market. According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, this device will lack a number of features available in the Vision Pro, but will still be quite expensive.

The report says that the more affordable version of the headset will likely not have an external screen. This means that developers will abandon the EyeSight feature, which allows you to track the user’s eyes and display them on an external screen. According to the journalist, the more affordable version of the headset will have an iPhone-level processor, will be equipped with fewer cameras and a display with a lower resolution. It is noted that the developers are currently considering different configuration options so that the final cost of the device is in the range from $1,500 to $2,500.
So none of the options Apple is considering will be cheap, although the $1,500 device is more attractively priced than the $3,500 model. If a device comes on the market for $2,500, then this price may seem too high for potential buyers. In many ways, the success of the device will depend on how well the hardware solutions used in it meet the expectations of customers.
