What are you talking about?
The news is simply saying they're suspending work on it to get the cheaper one out sooner. There will be another VP. Suspended doesn’t mean cancelled 🙄
Reminds me of the Monty Python movie Life of Brian…
“Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health ... what have the Romans ever done for us?”
It’s a beautiful and fun system to use. I absolutely love it.
On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple Intelligence, the apparent suspension of work on the second-generation Vision Pro headset, and Apple's rumored plans to move to thinner device designs.

Apple Intelligence is Apple's upcoming personalized AI experience for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. We look at the device limitations around the feature and address speculation that older models could have utilized the cloud processing to offer Apple Intelligence. While cloud computing is an important part of Apple's AI solution, on-device processing plays a crucial role in making Apple Intelligence functional, private, and efficient. We discuss these device requirements, including the necessity for M1 or later chips in Macs and iPads, and how these specifications should ensure a good user experience. We also explore the gradual rollout of Apple Intelligence and its implications and consider the potential workflows with Apple Intelligence, contemplating what might be possible with advanced AI integration across apps.
Next, we discuss the suspension of work on the second-generation Apple Vision Pro headset. Although Apple had reportedly been focusing on developing a lower-cost headset for some time, the news of Apple's decision to halt work the second-generation Vision Pro still comes as a surprise. We examine what this means for the future of the Apple Vision product line, including the potential benefits and drawbacks of prioritizing a less expensive model.
Lastly, we turn our attention to the future of Apple's devices, particularly the company's recently reported decision to again move toward thinner and lighter products. We delve into the ongoing debate between the benefits of thinner, more portable devices versus thicker ones with larger batteries. The M4 iPad Pro models and the upcoming "iPhone 17 Slim" demonstrate this trend, touting redesigns that aim to offer a more streamlined form factor without sacrificing battery life. We also discuss the anticipated MacBook Pro models with M4 series chips that are now expected to launch later this year.

BUT.
$3500.
No one wants to walk around with a used car on their face. Let alone go out in public to have it ripped off your head.
And if you do, you’re part of less than 2% of consumers who can afford to.
So it makes sense to make a more affordable model.
Valve is working on its next gen headset, which in my opinion is the headset for Apple to beat at a lower price point.
But valve is stiff competition in that market.
They make literally the best gaming headset. And it’s been untouched since its release years ago.
If Apple can make a $999 vision headset.
They will print money.
Suspended means cancelled altogether ?
I think the current gen itself has a long mles and several years to go interms of software update alone to add new features. I mean what they could add in v2 that is more desparately needed than the software. Just like iPad OS, its not the hardware, its software that is miles miles behind.

No it means cheaper version comes first which was always in their road map
Vision Pro 2 will come a year later in 2026
