Apple released the Vision Pro mixed reality headset last summer with a hefty $3499 price tag. Many people skipped buying it because they found it way too expensive for what it offered. Reports came out later that Apple might have scrapped plans for the next version and started working on a cheaper one instead. The first Vision Pro did not attract many buyers because regular people just couldn't afford it. Rumors suggest Apple cut back making them last October and might stop completely before this year ends.
A new report from ITHome claims Apple has already started making parts for a second Vision Pro headset. Supply chain sources told them that screen panels, outer shells, and other important pieces are already moving through factories. They mentioned Lens Technology as the only company making the glass panels for this new device. Another company called Changying Precision handles the outer case parts, according to these reports. Several electronics factories have ramped up their work to finish circuit board orders quickly. Apple plans to launch this new headset sometime during 2025, based on insider information. No one knows for sure if this represents the cheaper version everyone expected or a premium model with the new M5 chip inside.
