Apple's cheaper Vision Headset launching next year at $2xxx, reveals Mark Gurman

Apple is reportedly planning to launch a more affordable version of its Apple Vision headset as early as next year. Priced at around $2,000, the new headset will be significantly cheaper than the Apple Vision Pro, which was priced at $3,499. The decision to develop a cheaper headset is attributed to the limited appeal and accessibility of the Vision Pro, due to its high price. The more affordable model is expected to have downgraded components and may lack certain features, such as the EyeSight display. Apple is aiming for the cheaper headset to sell twice as well as the Vision Pro.

According to a report, Apple's upcoming Vision Pro headset will not have a dedicated Netflix app at launch.
