Secret plan to get Apple Vision much cheaper than current model revealed
Apple intends to launch a affordable version of their Apple Vision Pro and its development has accelerated in recent months. The Apple Vision Pro launched in early 2024 in the United States and will begin its international launch in the coming weeks. We have already confirmed the prices of the Apple Vision Pro in USA, and this is one of the main obstacles Apple faces with this device.
The Apple Vision Pro is a very expensive device because of the incredible technology it packs, with the power of a Mac and screens of a quality never seen before. Releasing an accessible version means reducing specifications
The secret of the Apple Vision deceived
According to Mark Gurman, senior members of the Vision team have re-evaluated the device roadmap for focus on transforming the Vision Pro into a mainstream product. A few weeks ago, we learned that Apple had discontinued the launch of the Apple Vision Pro 2 in favor of a more affordable option. And that has to do with this decision.
Apple’s objective, again according to information from Gurman, is offer an “Apple Vision” that costs between $1,500 and $2,000, almost half of what the current model costs. This cheaper device, named N107, is now the focus of the team developing Apple’s space computer.
Apple has a plan to make the Apple Vision cheaper
Apple’s plan is for this device to launch in 2025, but it has a serious problem. The company is fighting to reduce the cost of this more affordable Apple Vision while retaining so-called critical features
And this is where Apple was able to find the definitive solution to make an inexpensive Apple Vision. Instead of the device being completely independent and having its own chips, the company plans to make the device dependent on a Mac or iPhone. This would allow Apple to save money on the processing power and other components needed to make the Vision Pro a completely standalone product.
This is very interesting and would make a lot of sense. Ultimately, the Apple Vision Pro isn’t a device we’re going to use on the street. Most likely the vast majority of users who use it have an iPhone or Mac nearby
Of course, this does not interfere with the second generation of the Vision Pro, which Apple is still working on. Gurman says this model is codenamed N109 and is very similar to the current model, but includes a faster processor and external camera improvements. Apple has also been looking for ways to make the the second version of the Apple Vision Pro is lighter and more comfortable. Even if it will be launched at the same time or after the more affordable model, at the end of 2025 or 2026.
