Apple’s plans for a more affordable Vision Pro headset have been pushed back beyond 2027. As a result, the only new head-mounted display device expected from Apple in 2025 is the upgraded Vision Pro, powered by the M5 processor, according the TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo via X.com.

As I understand it, production of the cheaper Vision Pro has been delayed beyond 2027 for a while now. This means Apple’s only new head-mounted display device in 2025 will be the Vision Pro with an upgraded M5 processor.

I think what really drove Apple to delay the cheaper Vision Pro is that simply reducing the price wouldn’t help create successful use cases. It’s similar to the HomePod situation—even after launching the cheaper HomePod mini, Apple’s smart speakers failed to become mainstream products.‎

Apple’s prices are high across the board vs. competitors, even HomePod mini. That’s another issue—what Apple considers ‘affordable’ for Vision Pro might still be pricey vs. competitors. So it all comes down to whether they can provide successful use cases.
