Apple is reportedly working on a more affordable version of its Vision Pro headset, expected to launch next year with a price tag around $2,000. This model may include downgraded features, such as a less advanced processor and cheaper materials.
In addition to the Vision Pro, Apple is also developing smart glasses to compete with Meta's Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. These new glasses are anticipated to launch in 2027, alongside AirPods equipped with cameras.
The Vision Pro features advanced visual intelligence technology, which Apple aims to integrate into its other products, including the upcoming iPhone 16. This technology will enhance Siri's capabilities by allowing it to understand the user's environment better.
Both Meta and Google are also exploring smart glasses, indicating a competitive landscape in the augmented reality market. Apple's advancements in its visionOS ecosystem could provide a significant edge over its rivals.
