Vision Pro's 4 New Models – Affordable High-Tech Headsets Incoming!

we have not one, not two, not three

but four different new Vision Pro headsets in development. I guess four total

That might include the high-end one, but I don't think so. Oh, it is

Okay, so those four models include a direct successor to the first-generation model and a more affordable model

So they're working on a bunch of more affordable models of the Vision Pro

I don't know what more affordable means. I mean, more affordable could be 1,500 or 2,000

instead of 3,400. The build materials for the more affordable headset will reportedly be half that

of the first-generation Vision Pro to enable a significantly reduced retail price

Samples of this device are apparently set to begin production for the second half of 2024

with launch following in the second half of 2025 at the earliest

According to a separate report from Interface News, Apple has begun to communicate with the supply chain

about the second and third-generation Vision Pro products. There you go. Seeking to reduce costs to bring down prices

Yeah, yada, yada, yada. In December, with an initial batch of 400,000 units

apparently Apple has sales targets of 1 million units for 2024. I take it back to the original question

How much would it have to be for you guys to buy a Vision Pro

What is the, I'm gonna just buy this, sight unseen, I'll plerk down the money

get one, try it out. Lewis, what's it gotta be? Oh my God

I mean, in reality, if I didn't work for Cult of Mac, how much would it have to

it would probably have to be like zero dollars because I have almost zero interest

in strapping something onto my head. Okay. You know, working for Cult of Mac

I really wanna know what it is so I can speak about it

So I might get one at $34.99. I mean, if I was a normal person

who didn't read about this stuff and write about this stuff every day, I think perhaps like $9.99

might be a price that would be palatable. I mean, you're talking about a computer, right

Supposedly it's gonna be useful, but I don't know how it's actually gonna be useful

for productivity. I keep hearing people talk about it. I still, I cannot for the life of me

understand how it's useful for productivity the way that a Mac is

So I don't know, man. It's such a bizarre concept. I mean, you see people, oh, well, you know

it's got a M2 chip, I think, or M1, M2, whatever. I don't know

Apple Silicon chip. Very powerful chip that's powerful enough for a laptop

This gorgeous, supposedly gorgeous looking screen that it looks as good as a really expensive

studio display, right? So all these parts, oh, well, it's actually a bargain

I mean, it's still an awfully big price tag for something that seems of limited use

Yeah, I actually see the utility as a productivity device. How? Beyond that, I don't really think it'd be something

that I would be useful. I've used this example before. Clear evidence that TC pays attention on a weekly basis

probably just notes, because it manifested itself. And that is the ability to have multiple screens open

to be interacting with these screens. That would be really cool. To have a virtual environment

where you could have different screens open and be working in different screens and maybe even grabbing screens

and bringing them in front of you and resizing them and stuff. Interacting and then moving them out of the way

That would be cool. But watching movies in it
