Apple Vision Pro: Upgrades ahead, but no Vision Pro 2 in sigh

Apple's Vision Pro, a mixed-reality headset that allows users to see the world while interacting with virtual objects has been the subject of rumours among the tech enthusiasts who speculate that Apple may soon be announcing its second generation of Vision Pro.

Reportedly, there have been rumours surfacing that the Apple Vision Pro might receive updates later this year. Apple is expected to halt the development on the rumoured Vision Pro 2, instead focusing on a more affordable, lightweight version.

This move raises questions about the future of this innovative technology, but Apple has its ways to keep it relevant.

The Cupertino company is expected to develop a cheaper, more accessible version of the Apple Vision Pro 2. This new version will be likely to have some compromises compared to the Vision Pro and will be introduced with a newer processor.

The current Vision Pro uses an M2 chip that is two generations behind the latest iPad Pro. By the end of next year, it will be even further outdated. If Apple continues selling the Vision Pro without an update, it will have a significantly worse chip than its cheaper counterpart. This would make the more expensive Vision Pro a hard sell.

If Apple would be able to upgrade Vision Pro with a new chip, this significant move would keep the device relevant without fully replacing it. This strategy is similar to what Apple does with its Mac devices, where they update processors without changing its overall design. By doing so, Apple would be able to appeal the customers who want the latest tech without breaking the bank.
