According to a new report from The Information, Apple has suspended work on the high-end successor to the Vision Pro (we might call it Vision Pro 2). The report states that Apple notified at least one supplier, according to “an employee of a manufacturer that makes key components for the Vision Pro.”
This doesn’t mean Apple has no confidence in its new category of spatial computing, but that it’s just learning how much people are willing to pay for it. Apple is reportedly working on two new Vision products: a refreshed high-end “Pro” model with improved capabilities and a more affordable model that Apple would aim to sell at a price similar to a high-end iPhone. Apple had planned to release the most affordable model by the end of 2025, but would struggle to reduce manufacturing costs without cutting features and performance too much.
Work continues on the more affordable model, the report claims. In fact, one could view this development as a priority for Apple, ensuring that its development efforts are not split in an attempt to ensure that the lower-cost Vision product reaches the market on time.
Apple just announced VisionOS 2 at WWDC on June 10, a relatively minor upgrade as expected when VisionOS was released in February. The company is working hard to bring the product to other regions, announcing availability in four new regions in Asia on June 28 as well as Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom on July 12.
