The Apple Next Vision Pro Is Reportedly on 'Life Support'
Gizmodo • • general
Key Points:
- Apple’s potential follow-up to the Vision Pro VR headset, internally known as N224, is reportedly on “life support” due to competition from Meta’s newly announced, less cumbersome VR Glasses.
- Meta’s VR Glasses, expected to launch next spring, are praised for their lightweight design and reduced external components, potentially revitalizing interest in VR products.
- Internal debate at Apple surrounds the next Vision Pro model, particularly regarding the introduction of an external puck for components, which some employees strongly oppose.
- Organizational changes at Apple have distanced the Vision Products Group from direct CEO oversight, possibly contributing to uncertainty about the headset’s future.
- Despite speculation, CEO John Ternus remains optimistic about the Vision Pro’s long-term potential, likening it to the early stages of personal computing and highlighting interest from professional fields like surgery.
