This doesn’t say that the Vision Pro is abandoned at all.
In fact, it implies the opposite. They have paused development of a Vision Pro 2 and are instead accelerating development of their planned lower-cost headset.
Seems to me that they will be having the Vision Pro (1st gen) as their supported flagship for longer than expected.
the tech giant has suspended work on the next Vision Pro and is looking for ways to cut costs for a cheaper model that could ship by the end of next year
It absolutely does not. Which non-shitty version of their currently absolutely shitty headset did you think was going to be the magic one that actually works the way describe and advertise? Lolol
If you haven’t read or looked into this, it feels almost wrong to just boil it down for you.
Watch one of their stupid commercials about it, then see if it works at all the way they delict it working. It does not. All it is now is a wearable monitor for desktop viewing. Things it does not do while clearly depicted as such:
gaming
multimedia presentations
stream to other headsets
have ANY sharable user positioning data (local or GPS)
collaboration with other headset owners
wireless anything (it’s got a heavy ass battery pack)
literally has NONE of the apps that it had depicted it had in some presentations at initial dev announcement (Netflix, YouTube…etc), though they are usable in browser
Anyway, you get the idea. There’s more, but why bother.

Why do you think the headset doesn’t work as described or advertised?
Its price is the main complaint I’ve seen.

It absolutely does. I’m not sure why you’re trying to spread misinformation, but Apple clearly hasn’t dropped VR or the Vision Pro.

I never said that. WTF are you talking about?
