Anyone in the U.S. who wanted a $3,500 Vision Pro may already have one. The only hope for increased sales is a rumored cheaper model in 2025.

Those still holding on to their Apple Vision Pros may remain in a rather exclusive club throughout this year. Market research shows that sales for Apple’s first big, expensive headset will remain low in 2024. The latest reports from those keeping tabs on the Cupertino, California company say AVP will have dropped off 75% by the end of August. The true test for Apple’s spatial dreams may rest on the rumored (slightly) cheaper headset.

    I think Meta’s problem now is now that their headset is no longer super cheap. The Q3 is double the price of the Q2. It’s no longer a cheap toy you could buy on a whim.

    Its kind of left the PC without a super cheap headset as well.

    Bad news for VR tbh. I was hoping the PS2VR PC dongle might do it, but it sounds like they’ve gutted it for PC users.

      It definitely seems like sales are much much lower with the 200 bucks Q2/Q3 difference. Q2 is still fine for PC and even cheaper than before.

      I don’t see the PSVR PC dongle doing anything or almost anyone.

      There’s a cheaper version of Q3 coming soon to plug that hole on the market.
