Igeekphone reported on April 17th that the current Vision Pro 256G version starts at 29,999 yuan. The device weight ranges from 600 grams to 650 grams, which may vary depending on the configuration of the lens hood and headband. The weight of its individual battery is 353 grams. Many offline users have stated that the weight of this headset affects the comfort of their experience.
Apple has also realized this problem. The research and development focus of its next-generation head-mounted display is “weight reduction”. A blogger disclosed on social platforms that Apple is developing a brand-new head-mounted display, Vision Air, which is characterized by a lightweight design and comes in the midnight blue color.
He said that the Apple Vision Air achieves the goal of weight reduction through two major innovations. One is to adopt a lighter appearance design. The other is that the battery casing and internal structure are made of titanium metal, the external material is still aluminum, and it offers a brand-new midnight blue color (the currently available Vision Pro is only available in the silver version).
It is worth noting that this leaker also shared a Lightning-style connection cable, claiming that this cable will be used for the next-generation Vision headset.
As shown in the figure, the number of pins of the new connection cable interface is 8, while the number of pins of the current Vision Pro connection cable interface is 12. This indicates that Apple has redesigned the internal structure of the new headset.
