Apple<\/a> is said to be developing plans for a more affordable version of the Vision Pro \u2013 its first-ever mixed reality (MR) headset. While no release date has been revealed and the device isn’t even official, it is speculated to launch by the end of 2025. According to a recent report, this new headset may have larger displays but with lower resolution, in a bid to keep the costs down.<\/p>\n

Cheaper Vision Pro with lower-resolution displays<\/h2>\n

According to a report<\/a> by The Elec, the more affordable version of the Apple Vision Pro<\/a> may offer large 2.1-inch OLED-on-Silicon (OLEDoS) displays, making them considerably larger than the ones present on the current Vision Pro headset. These screens are tipped to have a resolution of 1,700 pixels per inch (ppi).<\/p>\n

At present, Sony<\/a> is reportedly Apple’s primary supplier of these microdisplays. However, its production capacity is capped at 9,00,000 panels per year, and since each headset uses two screens, it translates to a maximum capacity to support 4,50,000 mixed-reality headsets.<\/p>\n

To tackle this, Apple is said to have issued a request for information (RFI) \u2013 a process to procure technology-related information before a product’s development, to other display makers including Samsung<\/a> and LG<\/a> to gauge their production capabilities. As per the report, this is not only an attempt to increase the shipments of the Vision Pro but to also establish a stable supply of the displays. However, it is reportedly unclear if both companies will respond to Apple’s request.<\/p>\n

Notably, the Apple Vision Pro consists of two 1.42-inch displays with a pixel density of 3,400 ppi. These screens are also considered to be one of the key reasons behind the high $3,499 (roughly Rs. 2,90,000) price of the headset, with the displays reportedly costing $456 (roughly Rs. 38,000) alone.<\/p>\n

If it comes to fruition, the displays on the more affordable Vision Pro would mean a big downgrade compared to the existing version, but one which may also result in an overall lower price of the mixed reality headset.<\/p>\n\n
