Apple has made "drastic cuts" to Vision Pro headset production plans, according to manufacturing-side sources talking to the Financial Times. Indications are that the scaling back of orders for the headset have not been spurred by the significant cost of the device, and thus user adoption concerns. Instead, the FT sources say that "the complexity of the headset design and difficulties in production," have impacted hardware production targets.
Plans to release Vision Pro headsets to the public "early next year" were revealed at WWDC about a month ago. Tom's Hardware had eyes on the show and our op-ed sparked a lot of discussion among readers, mostly about Apple's chance of becoming a success in the AR / VR / XR segment, and its $3,499 product pricing.
