The report of so many new Vision Pro headsets being tested comes via the supply chain watchers at DigiTimes, with the second-gen Vision Pro thought to have both high- and low-end models.
The high-end second-gen Vision Pro will reportedly be a direct replacement for the model that is yet to go on sale, so we’re looking further into the future here. The first Vision Pro isn’t going to go on sale until early 2024…
DigiTimes says it understands that “the bill of materials (BOM) cost for the aìordable version is half that of the first-generation Vision Pro.” That means that it will reportedly cost Apple around half as much to build that cheaper second-gen Vision Pro, potentially allowing the company to pass those savings on to the customer which in turn makes the new model cheaper to buy at the Apple Store.
Selling a Vision Pro at around the $1,750 price point would absolutely be a huge improvement over the $3,499 buyers will hand over next year.

MacDailyNews Take: Obviously, in order to move past the early adopters into the mass market, Apple will need to bring down the costs and have consumer visionOS models (i.e. Apple Vision), just as they do with Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
