With its $3,500 price tag and limited market availability, Apple Vision Pro did not turn out to be a huge commercial success. Apple is expected to launch a successor sometime next year with the upcoming Apple M5 chip, but that device is not expected to come with a lower price tag. Noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests a more affordable Vision Pro device is still in development, but its production and launch have been postponed beyond 2027.
Kuo also reiterated that Apple will update its Vision Pro with the M5 chip next year. He also mentions that the M5 Vision Pro will hardly attract more users as it is still widely considered a niche product with limited use cases. Kuo also made parallels with the HomePod lineup, where the more affordable HomePod mini failed to gain traction – a trend that he believes could very well play out with the more affordable Vision Pro headset.
