    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.

        Why do you think the headset doesn’t work as described or advertised?

        Its price is the main complaint I’ve seen.

            I like shitting on Apple as much as the next guy but the Vision Pro is an impressive piece of gear from an engineering perspective. Unfortunately, much like pretty much all VR headsets before it, it is suffering from a lack of an ecosystem.

            All Apple changed is to pivot away from a focus on bleeding edge high end hardware in this new segment and instead grow a userbase by means of a cheaper base product (likely missing one or two bells and whistles). Developers don’t like to produce apps for platforms nobody will use, even if they get thrown some money to do so, because it is a poor long term investment. So Apple’s best shot at this is to get Vision devices onto as many heads as possible.

        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, and your own source proves it.

            Yes you did. If you can’t remember your own words, you can literally just scroll up.

            I doubt it’s for their fun headset since they’ve already abandoned it.

                What are you talking about? They never said they were making a gaming-focused headset. We were talking about the Vision Pro and you said Apple abandoned it.

                    Lmao you’re honestly telling me that this is an announcement of a gaming headset? HAHAHA

                    Bloons TD 6. Cut the Rope. Fruit Ninja. NBA 2K24 ARCADE EDITION.

                    All of this mentioned way below stuff like watching TV.

                    Yeah mate, totally. A headset for gamers HAHAHAHA.

                    Do yourself a favour and just take the L. They were never developing a gaming headset. By your metric of a gaming headset, Apple also designed the iPhone as a “gaming phone”, the iPad as a “gaming tablet”, and shit, even the Apple watch as a “gaming watch”.

                    When people say VR gaming, they generally don’t mean games on the tier of angry birds or doodle jump. They mean actual PC VR games.
