Apple, a budget version of the AR / VR headset in 2025

Apple has yet to launch his first AR / VR headset on the market, but it seems to be already thinking about the second generation with a possible cheaper model. In fact, in 2025 the Apple should expand its line for the metaverse.

Apple will launch a cheaper AR / VR headset in 2025

The news comes from Ming-Chi Kuo, an expert analyst at Apple who has already communicated to investors who take advantage of its services to prepare for the launch of the first Appl viewerAnd. Which should come with a dedicated event in January 2023.

However, this first model will be mostly for developers and professionals, with prices that are expected to exceed three thousand dollars. But Apple could lower the demand with the second generation, that would announce two years later in 2025.

In a post on Medium, in fact, Kuo explains: “The second generation Apple AR / VR headset could have high-end and cheaper models, with a launch in the first quarter of 2025. Vendor components would start in Q2 2024. Apple AR / MR shipments could reach 10 million units by 2025 or 2026, thanks to the second-generation segmentation strategy and ecosystem. ”

It therefore seems that, according to Kuo, only when the range of options is wider will Apple really be able to sell many headsets on the market. While this first generation will be above all aimed at ‘enthusiasts’ and developersthe. That they will be able to prepare a complete app ecosystem for 2025.

Before evaluating all these rumors, however, we must wait for the actual arrival of this product. That with the beginning of the 2023 is expected to debut in a big way. We will keep you posted.
