Note that suspends != cancelled and it’s just the “Pro”, with a cheaper model allegedly in the works.

We’ll see where a cheaper model lands in terms of price, but it’s very clear now that $3500+ isn’t really the price range where most people buy something out of curiosity. Because let’s face it: the Vision (Pro) still lacks a “killer app” for the masses.

That’s the important bit that everybody is missing:

Apple has suspended work on the second-generation Vision Pro headset to singularly focus on a cheaper model

Clicking through to the paywalled article, the headlines reads as follows:

Apple Suspends Work on Next Vision Pro, Focused on Releasing Cheaper Model in Late 2025.

I am as unoptimistic on the future of VR as everybody else here, but can we please leave the nuance in? Apple are not turning the key on VR, at least not yet, they are simply doing the predicable thing that everybody said their would: Release a VR headset that isn’t targeted at developers only.

My impression of the Vision Pro was that it was built and priced for developers to buy and expense and then build VR apps with it. That way when the consumer version comes out there’s stuff in the app store.

Have they built apps for it yet? I was going to get one but then it was stupidly expensive, was only available in the US, and would require a Mac for development not just for code compiling. To like many I didn’t bother with it. Even if I could have imported it.

If they can’t get the headset to fit the size and weight of swimming goggles, I don’t think it can get mass adoption

The front screen is what no one wants in a cheaper version. Don’t cut back on sound and cameras ffs

The price immediately put this product into the grave. They should take out all the useless features like the eye passthrough, or the bizarre face scanning, if it’ll only ever be used for calls. If this were to be used in a gaming scenario, sort of like what the PSVR2 does, that’d be a whole different conversation

Apple should make a virtual headset you can buy in META, then put it on when you are already in a VR setting, except now you can use Apple services with it!

That way it would have zero production cost, be absolutely as useless as it already is, and can be just as overpriced.

It seems like the perfect Apple scheme.

If you can continue with vapid schemes that ensure endless shareholder value I’ll follow you anywhere senpaisano
