    Apple Vision Pro to Get AI Boost; Cheaper Version Coming Soon

    Apple’s Vision Pro AR headset hasn’t quite met expectations. However, the company isn’t giving up just yet. Here’s an overview of the current status and future plans for Vision Pro, according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.

    Enhancing User Experience

    Apple is actively working on integrating its AI technology, known as Apple Intelligence, into the AR interface of the headset, visionOS. This integration aims to improve the overall user experience for Vision Pro users. In addition, Apple is revamping in-store demos to offer a more comprehensive experience. The new "Go Deeper" option allows potential buyers to test features such as office applications and video viewing. Soon, Vision Pro users will also be able to view personal videos and photos, including panoramas, within the headset. This feature is expected to be enhanced with the upcoming visionOS 2 update and its "spatialize" option, which can transform 2D photos into 3D experiences.

    Future Developments

    Rumors suggest that Apple is focusing on developing a more affordable headset targeted for release by the end of next year. The specifics are still unclear, with conflicting reports indicating either lower-resolution displays for a successor to the Vision Pro or a complete shift in focus towards this budget-friendly option. The primary challenge appears to be balancing cost with the high-resolution displays currently offered in the Vision Pro.

    While it’s too early to declare the Vision Pro a failure, Apple is likely to introduce a more affordable version of the headset. We will find out soon!

    Spotted on BIS certification site: The “Nothing Phone (2a)”

    Nothing Phone (2a) Spotted on BIS Certification Site, Launch Imminent

    The Nothing Phone (2a) has made an appearance on the BIS certification site, indicating that its launch might be just around the corner. This device is expected to be a more budget-friendly version of the Nothing Phone (2).

    Different Model Number Raises Questions

    According to the BIS certification, the model number of the Nothing Phone (2a) is listed as A142, which differs from the previously leaked AIN142 model number. It is possible that these two model numbers represent different regional variants of the same device.

    Battery and Design Details Revealed

    The BIS certification also reveals that the Nothing Phone (2a) will come with a different battery compared to the Nothing Phone (2). The model number of the battery is NT03.

    Familiar Design Elements

    Rumors suggest that the Nothing Phone (2a) will retain the signature Glyph Interface on its back panel, similar to the Nothing Phone (2). Additionally, the phone is expected to sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a center-aligned punch-hole selfie camera. However, it is speculated that the display may not be an LTPO panel like the one found on the Nothing Phone (2).

    Affordable Alternative with Mid-Range Processor

    As the Nothing Phone (2a) is positioned as a more affordable alternative, it is likely to be equipped with a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon or MediaTek Dimensity processor. Details regarding the phone’s battery capacity and pricing are still unknown at this point.

    Launch Date Still Uncertain

    While the exact launch date of the Nothing Phone (2a) remains unclear, its appearance on the BIS certification site indicates that its release could be sooner rather than later. Stay tuned for more updates on this upcoming device from Nothing.
