According to a story published earlier this week, Apple has changed its focus away from developing a next-generation Vision Pro and toward a lower-cost version of the headset. A new research released today gives further information on the Apple Vision product roadmap, including details on how Apple may reduce prices in the future.
In the most recent issue of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that prototypes of Apple’s lower-cost Vision headset, codenamed N107, have a narrower field of view than Vision Pro. Apple is reportedly looking into making the Apple Vision headset more reliant on a connected iPhone or Mac.

This would be a significant change from Vision Pro, which can function independently without a nearby iPhone or Mac. All of Vision Pro’s processing power and components are contained within the headset itself.
The article also states that Apple has “no plans to abandon the high end of the headset market” and is currently working on a second-generation version of Vision Pro.
