Apple halts Vision Pro 2 AR headset production: Here's why

Apple has reportedly decided to put the development of its high-end augmented reality headset, the Vision Pro 2, on hold in order to prioritize the creation of a more affordable version. The budget-friendly Vision headset is expected to launch in late 2025 with a target price of around $1,500. While the cheaper model may make some compromises in terms of design and features, Apple is careful not to sacrifice too much functionality. There is a possibility that work on the Vision Pro 2 could be resumed in the future. Apple has also announced the discontinuation of its Apple Pay Later service.
