Those from Cupertino will delay the launch of their inexpensive Apple Vision, but would work on a second generation of Vision Pro or on new glasses where the iPhone could be integrated
According to an article on X by renowned Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, those of Cupertino will delay the launch of Apple Vision in its economic version to 2027. The rumors were clear until a few months ago, an Apple Vision device that would be assembled with the simplest materials, without EyeSight and with lower resolution screens. From now on, the Apple brand will focus on the next version of Apple Vision Pro compatible with Apple Intelligence.
The cheap Apple Vision is postponed, Apple will now work on the second generation of Apple Vision Pro
Instead of making the device of the future cheaper, Apple is clear that it must update the first generation of Apple Vision Pro launched with the M2 chip in 2022. We’re not talking about new features yet, but would be updated with M5 chip which has not yet been revealed.
To put into perspective what Apple thinks of the cheap version of Apple Vision, Kuo compares this product attempt to the HomePod mini. Despite having launched in a smaller, cheaper version represented neither a trend nor a conventional productperhaps like directly competing products on Amazon or Google. There would be no point in launching it since visionOS is not designed for all usersat least at the moment.

Taking this into account, Apple should work on a second generation that attracts new consumers based on existing headphones and how to improve them. Price would be the number 1 factor, Tim Cook himself was asked about the Apple Vision Pro in a recent interview indicating that it is a “product aimed at early adopters, those who want to have the technology of tomorrow.
The Apple Vision device roadmap for the years to come
The rumor mill and one of the most reliable sources when it comes to Apple issues, Marc Gurman Bloomberg recently spoke in its weekly publication Power On about Apple’s plans for the Apple Vision line. Agree with Kuo regarding second generation updatealthough it is not certain that this will happen in 2025.
This also coincided with the topic of a cheap Apple Vision, although he also didn’t mention a likely release date. What caught the attention in his latest publication is that those from Cupertino are “seriously considering” launching a similar product but based on connecting an iPhone through glasses.

The idea is that The iPhone is the device into which all the necessary technology and components are transferred so that it functions as an accessory for watching movies, according to information from Gurman himself. This idea too would contribute to future sales of the iPhone as the “center of its product ecosystem”. Buying an iPhone and the accessory that would turn it into glasses for viewing content would cost less than the Apple Vision Pro, at $3,500.
Over the next year, these reports will increasewe will see if Apple decides to experiment with the iPhone or continues working to offer a second generation of its Apple Vision Pro.
