Apple has been in the spotlight this week due to numerous significant leaks, many stemming from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Just a couple of days ago, a YouTuber gave an inside look at the Apple M5 chipset and the upcoming iPad Pro 13.
Leaks and New Releases
Yesterday, the FCC released initial documents not just for the new iPad Pros, but also for a fresh MacBook Pro and a new Vision Pro device. Shortly after this, Mark Gurman stated that Apple had halted development on what he believed was a “cheaper and lighter” version of their current virtual reality (VR) headset.
Clarification on the Vision Models
Gurman later clarified that he was speaking about a different model than the unreleased VR headset mentioned by the FCC. His earlier comments were regarding the ‘Vision Air’, which was anticipated to be priced around $1,500, making it about five times the cost of Meta’s lighter alternative, the Quest 3S, which currently goes for $499 on Amazon.
Future of the Vision Pro
As pointed out in the tweet below, Gurman maintains that Apple is on the brink of launching a “new Vision Pro” soon. However, he does not provide a specific timeline, only suggesting that the headset is “close” to hitting the market. For now, he claims that Apple plans to differentiate the next Vision Pro, potentially called Vision Pro 2, by incorporating the Apple M5 chipset in it.
