The source of the information is well-known insider Mark Gurman, who has numerous real leaks about the iPhone and other Apple equipment. This time he not only revealed the approximate price of the basic version of the headset, but also told exactly how much the manufacturer will save to offer a cheaper device.

Apple Vision, but not Pro

• The next version, which will most likely be called Apple Vision, is most likely disable external display. This means Apple will remove EyeSight, one of the Vision Pro’s main features. This function, which no other headphone manufacturer offers, allows you to see a visualization of the user’s eyes in real time. Special cameras inside broadcast the image to the external screen for the interlocutor, and external cameras broadcast it to the internal screen. In this way, the user cannot remove the headset while talking to someone.
• The price is debatable, but it should be there. In the range of 1500-2500 dollars. For comparison, the Pro version of the headset costs $3,500.
• A more affordable version would probably work iPhone-level chipsWill have less camera And lower resolution screens inside.

Gurman also writes that after it became known that a simpler version was being developed, people’s attention turned to it, which threatened to reduce sales of Vision Pro.

There is no exact release date for either version yet. The Pro will see the light of day in early 2024, as the company promised, while the regular will probably have to wait a year or so.
