Apple Vision Pro marks one year with plans for updates and affordable model

The Apple Vision Pro, a $3,500 AR/VR headset, marked its one-year anniversary on Sunday. Reports indicate it has not sold well, leading to speculation that production may end by late 2024. Apple plans to release a new version soon. Apple is currently working on a minor update for the Vision Pro, which may include the new M5 chip. This update is not expected to feature significant design changes or improvements, and it will likely reuse components from the first generation. Additionally, Apple aims to create a more affordable version of the Vision Pro, potentially priced like a high-end iPhone, but this model may not arrive until 2027. The company has also abandoned plans for lightweight augmented reality glasses that required a Mac for power.
