Vision Pro 2 May Now Be in Production Ahead of Launch Later This Year

Apple doesn’t report sales numbers for any of their categories, and they haven’t for many years now.

Yes they do. I have attached their latest quarterly earnings report which states revenue generated by product category.

Well, if i didn't break a wall by running fast and blind against it, it'll probably be advisable, to backup some further distance and running up again faster against the now even thicker wall? - NOT really!

They are hoping for a breakthrough.

I wish they would put as much focus on fixing and releasing updates to the iPhone 16 that they said they were going to a year ago then they were worried about new products going forward

You know the hardware team don’t work on software updates, right?

That's a great use case, no doubt... but incredibly niche, even for a company like Apple.

They need to get something out for half the current MSRP and get some interest in numbers high enough to spark developer interest.

Yes… for the rest of us plebs there is a device called a television 😁

I have a PSVR2 - and that's super awesome. It's lower res than these, but Sony has sold a BUNCH of them.

I'd pay good money for an apple product like the meta smart glasses. The AVP is super cool tech but I just can't get past the - ok, so now what?- side of them. I don't trust meta at all, but their glasses are slick. Supposely the next version can do overlays. What the heck, apple? Meta, friggin Meta, is better at these than you?

Even so, hardware doesn’t work without software, and buggy software is like bad petrol.

 

[MrGimper]

I could afford one now, but this would have to be half the size and half the price for me to even consider spending any of my disposable income on this.

Thanks to tariffs, it will be $5K!!!

Bruhhh 😒 try $9000+

 

[farmboy]

VR at a pricepoint above $1000 is a fools errand. It disconnects you from family and friends and in general doesn't do a hell of alot that your phone or ipad can do.

I enjoy my $500 Meta Quest 3 here and there but i have no actual use for it, it's just a nice to have

Why on earth would you be disconnected from your family and friends? It's not an isolation cell. Seems like an absolute made-up criticism, oft repeated here but baseless.

 

[Royksöpp]

All they’re probably going to do is swap the boards with an M4 version.

 

[qnssekr]

I can’t imagine this product being a bi-annual upgrade. Who could afford that?

 

[Lounge vibes 05]

Yes they do. I have attached their latest quarterly earnings report which states revenue generated by product category.

Those are not sales numbers I’m sorry to say.

 

[mansplains]

Apple hasn't come up with a compelling reason to buy the first one, so what's the use of building a successor.

This one will come in a black finish

 

[ElvenPrince995]

Apple, what exactly is the point of this device? Add $5k cost to this with tariffs, why make it? Nobody was buying the first one so you decide to make a second iteration. Laughable but typical apple.

 

[fithian]

Who said that.

No question mark required....

 

[menist]

Why keep making product for 6 people when there are millions who still wants an updated iPhone Mini 😅.

 

[0049190]

Those are not sales numbers I’m sorry to say.

You mean unit sales numbers? You can get those from any number of market research websites like Statista.

 

[0049190]

My local Apple Store has devoted a whole table by the entrance to the AVP. I can honestly say I’ve never seen anyone trying it.

Meanwhile they don’t have room to display all the colour options for the iMac and iPads.

 

[jblank]

Dear God, why? For the love of God this is the last thing they need to do right now. I just shake my head at this thing.

 

[subjonas]

I hope it addresses the passthrough video quality criticisms. Any device that emphasizes AR functionality needs to provide the user with crystal clear vision of the real world, because the defining difference between AR and VR is that AR should only add to real world, not take away—so that you can do work equally in both the real world and virtually simultaneously. (Example I used before: a mechanic working on a real engine with virtual schematics.)
Right now, all AR devices including the VP seem to really only emphasize virtual work. It’s technically AR only in that you can keep your geographical bearings in the real world, but the diminished quality view of the real world discourages you from focusing on anything real in it.

Thanks to tariffs, it will be $5K!!!

per eye.

 

[Moukee]

Wait, Pro 2? Weren't there dozens of rumors regarding a cheaper non-"Pro" model?

 

[dmi]

If it improves the Mac Virtual Display resolution, I want one.

 

[PCMA]

It's called the Vision Pro 2 because that's all they're likely to sell.

 

[richinaus]

Agree - but by "support", in this case, I mean supporting and courting developers needs.

But ultimately it has to start with a user base interested in Apps.

To me it all mostly starts & ends with "way too expensive" and the problems largely fall from that tree.

If they are able to reduce the cost [and weight] whilst maintaining quality, I will start porting over my Meta XR work to the AVP.
They also need to be better at supporting developer needs. Meta are next level compared to Apple at this.
