Apple Vision Pro 2 tipped for 2026 launch, but cheaper headset planned before that

Apple's Vision Pro is a top-tier VR/AR headset, albeit with a high price tag. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to launch a more affordable version before the next-generation Vision Pro 2, expected by the end of 2026. This cheaper model might feature reduced specifications, like swapping the EyeSight display for an A-series chipset, which could bring the price to between $1500 and $2500. However, challenges persist in balancing cost reduction with maintaining quality features.
