Apple Plans Budget Vision Headset with Lower Resolution Displays

New reports indicate Apple is exploring lower-cost options for its Vision Pro, including reduced pixel density and potential tethering to iPhones or Macs.

Apple is considering using lower-resolution OLED displays for a cheaper version of its Vision Pro headset, potentially reducing costs.
Samples from Japan Display (JDI) with around 1,500 PPI have been received, significantly lower than the current Vision Pro's 3,391 PPI.
Apple's requests for information to display manufacturers like Samsung and LG suggest exploring multiple options for the budget headset.
Potential cost-saving measures include tethering the device to an iPhone or Mac, reducing the need for standalone processing power.
The development is in early stages, with mass production possibly two to three years away, intensifying competition among display manufacturers.
