Apple could release Vision headset without EyeSight feature, Bloomberg reports

Apple’s next big mixed reality release could come as early as next year, with the launch of a lower-end Vision headset costing around $2,000, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports. To achieve this price, Apple would use cheaper materials and a less powerful processor, and it would not include the EyeSight feature that shows a user’s eyes outside the headset, Gurman says. Next up would be a second-generation Vision Pro in 2026, and then potentially smart glasses and AirPods with cameras in 2027. Gurman also expects home hardware to be a top priority for Apple, saying the company has plans for an “an affordable iPad-like screen” that could be placed around the house to watch TV, make FaceTime calls, and use apps. This would be followed by a tabletop device with a robot arm, which could cost around $1,000.
