Apple Said to Target 2027 ‘Vision Air’ That Is Lighter, Far Cheaper

Analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo outlines a shift toward a lower-cost tier to broaden Vision headset adoption.

Overview

  • Kuo reports the Vision Air would be over 40% lighter than the 1.375‑pound Vision Pro, putting the device under a pound.
  • He expects the model to be more than 50% cheaper than the $3,499 Vision Pro, with outside estimates placing a possible price near $1,500.
  • Projected shipments reach about one million units in 2027, compared with fewer than 400,000 units for existing Vision models.
  • Coverage indicates a refreshed Vision Pro or Vision Pro 2 is still expected sooner, though weight and price complaints are seen persisting until Vision Air arrives.
  • Earlier rumors point to design changes such as a titanium internal frame, a thinner build, and a revised battery enclosure to cut mass and cost.
