Apple Vision Pro: the firm is not finished with its mixed reality headset and is already preparing the sequel

Several devices designed around the Apple Vision Pro, the virtual reality headset Apple's mixed-use products are reportedly in the pipeline for the coming years.

Apple seems determined ; à not to abandon its mixed reality headset. The Apple Vision Pro may not have fully achieved the firm's goals , but the latter intends to continue investing in mixed reality for a few more years.

Aware of the problems raised around the Apple Vision Pro, the Cupertino firm is already working on a new version of the headset. The primary goal would be to offer a second generation “low cost” so that more individuals can get their hands on Apple's mixed reality headset.

In his traditional newsletter, Mark Gurman, journalist for the Bloomberg media and at the heart of many Apple information leaks, explains that the firm is working on several new devices that will be based in part on the technologies of the Apple Vision Pro. The journalist mentions in particular an “Apple Vision Pro 2” without specifying that this is indeed its name.

This new Apple Vision Pro would therefore be much more affordable, which would partly solve its biggest current problem: its price (the headset is still sold from 3,999 euros in France). Apple would now aim for a price around 2,000 dollars, which would amount to, in Europe, a final price of around 2500-2600 euros.

In addition to this cheaper Vision Pro, Apple is also said to be working on developing new AirPods equipped with small cameras to better identify your environment and improve spatial audio as well as the detection of external noise. A news that is not really a surprise since we have been hearing about Apple wireless headphones with cameras for a while integrated.

Finally, the Cupertino firm is also preparing to launch itself on the connected glasses market. Only a few days after the very nice demonstration of Meta (Facebook) in this area, Apple would therefore like to offer glasses that would be based on several technologies of the Apple Vision Pro. These connected glasses would be based above all on AI to assist users and their hardware would be centered around Apple Intelligence. Mark Gurman specifies, however, that these glasses would certainly not see the light of day before at least the year 2027.
