Apple Announces Vision Pro Mixed-Reality Headset and Plans for Cheaper Future Model
- Apple announced the Vision Pro, its first mixed-reality headset, at its annual WWDC developer conference with a starting price of $3,499.
- The high price tag of the Vision Pro has led to criticism, prompting rumors of a cheaper model in the works for release in 2025.
- The cheaper Vision model may have lower-quality components like less advanced displays, a less powerful processor, fewer cameras, and a simplified strap design to lower costs.
- The Vision Pro redefines remote work by facilitating collaboration in a shared virtual space and simulating in-person interaction.
- The inward-facing technology of the Vision Pro represents a shift in Apple's vision from creating tools that help users navigate the real world to those that encourage escaping it..
