We Have Not One, Not Two, Not Three, But Four Different New Vision Pro Headsets in Development

There are four different New Vision Pro headsets that are currently in development. This is not surprising, as we know that Apple has been working on improving and expanding their lineup of Vision Pro products. The high-end version might not be part of this new batch, but the other three models will definitely include it.

One of the models includes a direct successor to the first-generation model, which would indicate a major upgrade over its predecessor. Another one is a more affordable version of the original Vision Pro headset, which Apple plans to make more widely available. We don't know exactly what "more affordable" means in this context, but we can speculate that it might include a lower price point compared to the current $3,400 model.

The third model is another less expensive version of the Vision Pro headset, and its build materials will reportedly be half those of the first-generation model. This should enable a significantly reduced retail price. Samples of this device are set to begin production in the second half of 2024, with launch following shortly thereafter, according to reports from Interface News.

Apple has also begun communicating with their supply chain about the second and third generation Vision Pro products. It seems that they're looking to reduce costs to bring down prices. In December, an initial batch of 400,000 units was reportedly shipped out, with sales targets set at 1 million units for 2024. This is a clear indication that Apple is committed to making the Vision Pro more accessible and affordable for consumers.

When it comes to pricing the New Vision Pro headset, there's no clear answer yet. When asked about the price point, Lewis responded by saying that if he didn't work for Cult of Mac, he would probably have to pay $0 in order to buy a Vision Pro. However, as someone who reads about this technology every day and is eager to know more about it, he admitted that even he might be willing to pay $34.99 for one.

However, Lewis also questioned the practicality of buying a Vision Pro headset, especially when compared to traditional Mac products. He acknowledged that while the new device features impressive specs like an M2 chip and gorgeous screen, its price tag is still quite steep. The fact that it's going to be useful primarily as a productivity tool might not make up for the high cost.

One interesting example of how the Vision Pro headset could be useful was mentioned by Lewis. He explained that he had noticed himself taking notes more frequently since starting to use a Mac, which suggested that having multiple screens open at once could indeed enhance one's productivity. This ability to have different screens open and interact with them in various ways would indeed be a valuable feature of the Vision Pro headset.

Overall, while Apple has been working hard to improve their lineup of Vision Pro products, there are still many questions surrounding their pricing and practicality. As more information becomes available, we can better understand whether or not this technology is going to be viable for consumers.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwe have uh not one not two not three but four different New Vision Pro headsets in development uh I guess four total that might include the high-end one but I don't think so oh it is okay so those four models include a direct successor to the first generation model and a more affordable model uh so they're working on a bunch of more affordable models of the Vision Pro I don't know what more affordable means I mean more affordable could be500 or 2,000 instead of 3,400 the build materials for the more affordable headset will reportedly be half that of the first generation Vision Pro to enable a significantly reduced retail price samples of this device are apparently set to begin production for the second half of 2024 with launch following in the second half of 2025 at the earliest according to a separate report from interface news Apple has begun to communicate with the supply chain about the second and third generation Vision Pro products there you go seeking to reduce costs to bring down prices yeah yada yada yada in December with an initial batch of 400,000 units apparently Apple sales targets of 1 million units for 20124 I take it back to the original question how much would it have to be for you guys to buy a Vision Pro what's what is the I'm G to just buy this side unseen I'll plk plkk down the money get one try it out Lewis what's it got to be oh my God uh you know I mean in reality if I didn't work for Cult of Mac how much have to it would probably have to be like zero dollars because I have almost zero interest in strapping something onto my head okay you know uh working for cultive Mac I really want to know what it is so I can speak about it so I might get one $34.99 I I mean if I was a normal person who didn't read about this stuff and write about this stuff every day I think perhaps like 9.99 might be a price that would be palatable I mean you're talking about a a computer right supposedly it's going to be useful but I I don't know how it's actually going to be useful for productivity I I keep hearing people talk about it I still I cannot for a life of me understand how it's useful for productivity the way that a Mac is is so I don't know man it's it's such a bizarre concept I mean you see people oh well you know it's it's got a a M2 what an M2 Chip I think or M1 M2 whatever an apple silicon chip very powerful chip that's powerful enough for a laptop it's got a you know this gorgeous supposedly gorgeous looking screen that you know it looks as good as a really expensive uh Studio display right so you know all these parts oh it's actually a bargain I I mean it's still an awfully big price tag for something that seems of limited use yeah I actually see the utility as a um a productivity device but beyond beyond that I I don't really think it' be it'd be something i' would be useful I've used this example before clear evidence that TC pays attention on a weekly basis probably takes notes because it it manifested itself and that is the ability to have like multiple screens open and be interacting with these screens like that would be really cool to have a uh a virtual environment where you could have different screens open and be working in different screens and like maybe even like grabbing the screens and bringing them in front of you and resizing them and stuff and then interacting then moving them out of the way like that would be cool but watching movies in itwe have uh not one not two not three but four different New Vision Pro headsets in development uh I guess
