Apple Vision Pro 2: Lighter, cheaper, and aimed at businesses

The next generation of Apple Vision Pro is attracting attention with a series of leaked information, promising to bring outstanding improvements in design, performance and diverse development strategies. Below is a summary of the highlights from reliable sources.

Optimal design and premium materials

According to Kosutami - a reputable source about Apple - the latest leaked image of Vision Pro 2 shows that the headset will use titanium material, which will significantly reduce the weight compared to the current version. This is in line with the goal of optimizing the wearing experience for users. In particular, the included charging cable is also renewed with a dark graphite design, durable black woven shell and neat round plug.

Another notable detail is that the charging cable has only 8 contact pins (down from 12 pins on the first Vision Pro), combined with an expanded Lightning port to ensure a stable connection between the headset and the external battery. The white dot on the cable is also integrated as a visual indicator of the operating status, demonstrating the sophistication of Apple's design.

Enterprise application orientation

Bloomberg revealed that Apple is developing two versions of Vision Pro in parallel:

• Low-cost version: In order to expand the market, this device will retain high performance but remove some "high-end" features such as the high-resolution screen or integrated speaker system, thereby reducing the price. Titanium materials and minimalist design also contribute to making the device lighter, suitable for ordinary users.
• Enterprise Edition: Focused on low latency (fast response times), the headset connects directly to the MacBook via cable instead of using a wireless connection. This is especially important in the medical field (surgical assistance) or aviation (cockpit simulation), where accuracy is vital.

According to observers, although the low-cost version has been rumored to be delayed, Apple still identifies this as a key target to compete with other AR/VR products on the market.

Release date

Apple is expected to announce the Vision Pro 2 at WWDC in June, when the company usually introduces new products. Meanwhile, the low-cost and enterprise versions may need more time to develop, expected to be released within the next 1-2 years. With these improvements, Apple is gradually expanding the AR/VR ecosystem, meeting the diverse needs of both individual users and businesses.
