As the rumor mill surrounding Apple's $3,erik rhodes pelakon terbitan lucah500 Vision Pro heated up last year, we've repeatedly heard that Apple plans to follow up with two headsets: an even more powerful, next-generation version, and a cheaper variant that could get more user adoption.
Now, according to a report from The Information, Apple has ditched plans to launch the more powerful device of the two, instead focusing solely on the cheaper version.

This new Vision headset would reportedly still have the high-res displays that the made the original Vision Pro so enjoyable to use, but some (unnamed) features will be missing, and the headset will be at least a third lighter than the original. It would also be cheaper; we've previously heard that Apple discussed prices ranging from $1,500 to $2,500.

The device will also soon launch in several new markets (it is currently only available in the U.S.): China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the UK.
