It’s said that Apple planned to divide the Vision lineup into 2 models, with one low-cost device and the “Pro” model. Moreover, Apple has been halting work on the Vision Pro 2 as it gradually shifted towards reducing costs and making a more affordable model with fewer attributes compared to the Vision Pro 2.
Apple’s Budget Vision Pro: Turning $1600 into a $1600 — Plus, a Few Smart Tweaks
When Apple kicked off the N109 project back in 2022, they felt pretty good about a dream: unveil a budget version of the Vision Pro that someone could buy for the same price as a hefty $1 600 iPhone. Sounds tempting, right? Instead of a straight‑up upgrade, the company has been on a wild-ish cost‑cutting quest—slicing features, cutting audio, and even shaving off a bit of the thrill.
What the Baggage‑Reduced Vision Pro Looks Like
- Fewer Cameras – Time to train your eye to notice subtle motions instead of click‑click‑click.
- Smaller Speakers – Who needs those booming boom‑beats when you’re only watching a TikTok clip?
- Streamlined Headband – Light and simple, no more wobbling around.
- Fewer Weighty Parts – The device feels like a feather compared to the weight‑hungry Pro.
- Bright, Sizzling Display – Apple’s promise to keep that high‑def look unchanged.
Apple’s juggling act with all these cuts? They’re still hunting for ways to keep the price point steady. That means the launch might drag out until the end of 2025—longer than you’d expect for a gadget upgrade.
What Happens If Apple Doubles Back on Vision Pro 2?
There’s still a whisper in the fandom circles that Apple could decide to pick up the Vision Pro’s sequel engine again down the line. If Mark’s crew takes the plunge, we’d see a blend of the cost‑savvy tweaks with that high‑class Pro experience that you expect from a brand like Apples.
Bottom Line
So, the big take‑away is: Apple’s lean Vision Pro is a bold experiment in balancing $1 600 with high‑tech flair while keeping the dollar sign in sight. Whether it hits the market in 2025 or swings back to a next‑gen version, the world’s watching.
