Ever since Apple first introduced its groundbreaking and highly anticipated Augmented Reality (AR) headset in July, there has been much speculation and anticipation about the product and its launch. While the pricing of the device isn’t finalized yet, reports suggest that Apple is now considering a cheaper version of their Vison Pro headset.
Apple is widely known for selling its products at a premium price point and the traditional Vision Pro model is certainly no exception. According to reports, the Vision Pro model could cost up to $3,000 and while this premium price may be viable for many of Apple’s patrons, it may be a bit too pricey for other conspiracy theorists. Fortunately, it seems that Apple might be considering a more affordable Vision Pro headset, so more people can get access to the fascinating and awe-inspiring AR experience.
The cheaper Vision Pro model is likely to come with lower-end components, such as fewer cameras and possibly some non-essential features. This means that the device is likely to be significantly less powerful than its more expensive counterpart; however, the more affordable model is still expected to feature some of the same features as the more expensive version, including True Tone Display and body controls.
Although the product is yet to be officially announced, reports suggest that the cheaper version of the Vision Pro headset could be available in the second half of 2021. This means that people who have been eagerly awaiting to get their hands on the AR headset would finally be able to do so sometime next year.
It is no secret that Apple has a history of successfully launching products and the augmented reality headset is expected to be no exception. Whether the company sticks to its standard pricing strategy or decides to offer consumers a more affordable Vision Pro headset, Apple is likely to make a mark in the AR industry. With the world evolving so quickly, it is quite possible that the cheaper Vision Pro model could become the go-to device for many price-sensitive consumers who are looking to explore the world of AR.
