Unpleasant development for Apple's affordable Vision Pro
An affordable version of the Vision Pro, which Apple introduced a short while ago, is coming, but according to estimates, it will not be 'very affordable'.

It has emerged that Apple is also developing an affordable version of the Vision Pro mixed reality headset, which it introduced just a short while ago. Or rather, it was already working on this 'affordable version' even before the Vision Pro was unveiled. However, the cheaper version of the 3,499-dollar main model will still remain expensive.
AFFORDABLE APPLE VISION PRO COULD BE ANNOUNCED IN 2024
According to estimates by Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, the Vision Pro, which is expected to be marketed by Apple as an affordable option, could appear with a price tag of around 2,000 dollars. This price reduction will be achieved through certain cutbacks on the hardware side. In other words, as one might expect, some star features will not be present in the new version.
According to Gurman, the features to be downgraded or sacrificed include the high-resolution display and the high-performance processor. In order to reduce costs in the cheaper version, which is expected to offer lower resolution, Apple will equip the device with the processor used in iPhones.
Another feature category to be downgraded will be the EyeSight technology. The device is expected to be announced in 2024.
