The Apple Vision Pro has had lacklustre sales since its release this year, and the company is likely hoping that a more affordable version would be able to encourage more users to adopt the technology.
The Apple Vision Pro offers a mixed-reality headset that allows users to see world while interacting with virtual objects around them. It is similar to Meta Quest Pro, a virtual reality/mixed reality headset introduced by the Meta.
However, there are several notable features set these two apart from one another, including the Apple Vision Pro's EyeSight function, which allows others to see where a user's eyes are looking when operating the device.

Apple, the tech giant, is reportedly shifting its focus away from developing a high-end version of its Vision Pro mixed reality headset and is instead working on a more affordable variant for the users. The new device--- codenamed N109 is expected to retain the high-resolution display of its predecessor but will likely remove or downgrade certain features to lower costs.
What’s the new pricing of Apple Vision Pro?
Additionally, the rumours surfacing around suggest that the new Apple Vision headset will be priced around $1,000, significantly lower than current device's price tag of $3,500 for the Apple enthusiasts. This move is likely intended to a appeal to wider range of users and increase adoption of the technology. Aldo, Meta is expected to scaling back its development of Meta Quest Pro line and is instead focusing on a more affordable version of the Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset.
The device is expected to be released in 2025 with its lower price point, that could make it more attractive option for the consumers who are interested in mixed reality technology but have been put off by the high cost of the current device.
