It is a known fact that the Vision Pro, which Apple launched with great hopes, is not accessible to most users due to its high price. According to a detail revealed today, the standard Vision Pro, which is expected to be more affordable, will not arrive as soon as expected.
Offered with a high price tag of $ 3,499, Vision Pro was not expected to reach as wide a user base as the iPhone or iPad, but there were various reports that Apple wanted to develop a more affordable Vision Pro model in order to bring this technology to a wider audience. It was even said that the company was focusing on a more affordable version instead of the sequel model of the current Vision Pro.
Why was the affordable Vision Pro postponed?
Market analyzes predicted that Apple would introduce a more affordable Vision Pro model in 2025 at the earliest, but according to famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, an entry-level Vision Pro model may not be released until 2027 at the earliest.
Kuo states that Apple believes that simply lowering the price will not be enough to make the product successful. Since a similar situation occurred with Apple’s smart speaker products HomePod, the company wants to act more consistently this time. As you may remember, HomePod mini could not become a mainstream product even though it was cheaper.
There are also problems with the adoption of the Vision Pro ecosystem. For example, some big brands such as Netflix did not choose to develop special applications for Vision Pro, and this is among the factors that negatively affected the attractiveness of the device.
For now, the future of the Vision Pro is uncertain at this point and we will have to wait for Apple’s future launches before we can learn new details.
