According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple is ‘seriously considering’ developing a cheaper Apple Vision device that offloads all of the computing power to your iPhone, essentially developing a headset with primarily displays and battery.
Gurman has mentioned this idea in the past, but it was just one of the many ideas Apple was toying with for future products in the Apple Vision family, however it sounds like the idea might have more merit now.
This product would be similar to other products on the market like the Xreal glasses, which show content from your iPhone through the displays of the glasses.
Earlier this morning, Ming Chi-Kuo reported that Apple’s cheaper Vision headset has been delayed beyond 2027, so it’s highly possible that this “Vision as an iPhone accessory” product could come in place of it. Gurman says this product “would reinforce the iPhone as the center of [Apple’s] product ecosystem.”
This product would also likely be far more accessible than Apple Vision Pro, and with how much overhead our iPhone’s A18 chips have, it could make quite a bit of sense in the not-so-distant future.
