Tech giant Apple may launch an inexpensive Vision headset to act as an iPhone accessory

The report suggests that Apple plans to unveil a less expensive variant of its Vision Pro virtual reality headset, designed to work as an iPhone accessory. The report says that Apple is serious about expanding the Vision line of headsets that use the processing power of the iPhone. The new Apple product is expected to have a display and battery and will allow the transfer of all data to the paired iPhone for processing. According to the report, the new Vision headset is expected to be more affordable compared to the Vision Pro, which will be priced lower and will be compatible with iPhones. Reports suggest that the new headset will cement the iPhone as the centerpiece of Apple’s brand network.

Earlier, it was reported that the tech giant Apple aims to unveil an affordable variant of the Vision Pro in 2025, which will be equipped with a less powerful processor and only a few high-end features. However, some technology analysts have pointed out that Apple has postponed this model until 2027, indicating that the technology company may emphasize the development of the Vision accessory for iPhones rather than the expansion of the standalone, which will be the more expensive Vision Pro headset. .

Technology analyst Ming-Chi KuoIn explained in a post on social media that the company is convinced that simply reducing the cost of the Vision headset will not be enough to design a viable use case for a different headset. This suggests that the tech company is leaning towards developing the Vision accessory as a viable option instead of chasing a less expensive stand-alone model. Kuo also revealed that Apple may launch a second-generation version of the Vision Pro headset next year, which is expected to include a new M5 processor.
