Why Would Apple Update Their Vision Pro Without Updating It?
I do not get it
Mark Gurman, who really seems to have an inside Apple source, says that Apple will be selling an upgraded Vision Pro this year. The only upgrade he mentioned was that it will get a new CPU and a new strap. He then goes on to say that a lighter Vision Pro will come in 2027.
Huh? What’s the major complaint from buyers about Vision Pro?
- It’s too expensive
- The strap chafes their skin
- It’s not fast enough
- It’s too heavy
You might have thought “too expensive”, but no, it’s the weight. The weight that supposedly will be reduced in 2027. So why would anyone buy the one with the new strap and new CPU?
Okay, someone will. There are companies that are using these things for real work; maybe they need more. Fine. But if you believe that a lighter, possibly less expensive model is coming in 2027, well, damn, I’d wait!
Unless Apple catfished Mark? Fed some fake, but different, scoops to employees suspected of leaks? Possible, I suppose?
Help me buy a Vision Pro. Or a coffee. If you enjoy my posts, please consider making a contribution, recurring or not. Thank you. https://ko-fi.com/pcunix
