Apple Vision Air will likely arrive in markets soon. A recent report suggested the expected launch timeline of the purported mixed reality headset. It is tipped to be a thinner and lighter counterpart of the existing\u00a0Apple Vision Pro headset. The rumoured Air-branded AR\/VR wearable is expected to be a cheaper alternative to the existing version. The Cupertino-based tech giant initially announced the Apple Vision Pro at\u00a0WWDC 2023, which went on sale in select global regions last year.<\/p>\n
Apple Vision Air Launch Timeline (Expected)<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Apple Vision Air is expected to launch anytime between “the end of this year and the first half of 2026,” according<\/a> to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Despite the existing Apple Vision Pro not performing well, the company is not “abandoning ship” yet, he added. The Air version is claimed to be lighter and cheaper.<\/p>\n However, whether the lighter Apple Vision Air will act as a replacement for the current Vision Pro option, or just its cheaper alternative, is still uncertain, Gurman said.<\/p>\n Gurman added that Apple will likely introduce a\u00a0Mac-tethered variant of the Apple Vision Pro, which will be “aimed at applications that need maximum responsiveness,” but he did not mention an expected launch timeline for this. Previously, he reported<\/a> that the rumoured\u00a0Apple Vision Pro 2 will support low-latency connectivity and\u00a0advanced enterprise applications.<\/p>\n
