Many reports over the past year indicate that the Vision Pro isn't selling well, which isn't surprising considering how expensive it is. According to recent rumours, the Vision Pro may already be out of production, despite Apple CEO Tim Cook describing it as a "early-adopter product" for those who wish to have tomorrow's technology today.
According to a report published in October by The Information, Apple was planning to discontinue manufacturing the Vision Pro by the end of 2024. Since Apple reportedly intends to produce a new version of the Vision Pro as early as this year, the company now has adequate inventory to accommodate demand.
Apple's plans for a follow-up model appear to be changing often because the company wasn't entirely sure how the Vision Pro would be welcomed. Because of this, there have been a lot of conflicting rumours about what will happen next, but we do have a general sense of what may be next.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is working on an update that will contain the company's future M5 CPU, which will be an upgrade above the M2 chip in the current model. Apple may add Apple Intelligence capabilities, such as a more sophisticated Siri, to the Vision Pro with the M5 processor.
The iPhone, iPad, and Mac are the only devices that now have Apple Intelligence.
This gadget will reuse many of the components from the first-generation model to use up whatever excess inventory that Apple has, and no further significant design modifications or feature updates are anticipated. The M5 chip's potential impact on the Vision Pro experience is unclear, and an update is probably not going to improve the present Vision

It's possible that the next Vision Pro may feature Apple's own modem chip to provide 5G connection, but the firm may decide to wait for a second-generation model instead of a minor upgrade.
Cheap Model?
Although it may take some time, Apple hopes to create a less expensive version of the Vision Pro that costs about the same as a high-end iPhone. According to Kuo, this less expensive variant won't be available until 2027 at the latest, and it may take much longer.

Because it doesn't want to jeopardise the display components, Apple is having trouble cutting prices. Apple may eliminate features like the EyeSight display that reveals the wearer's eyes and utilise less expensive materials instead of glass and aluminium.
According to rumours, Apple is considering OLED panels with a display density of about 1,700 pixels per inch and a maximum size of 2.1 inches. The display of the Vision Pro is 1.42-inch and contains about 3,400 pixels per inch.

The project that Apple was working on to create lightweight, Mac-powered augmented reality smart glasses was shelved in January. The Mac link was a deal-breaker, even though the glasses would have been the same size as regular spectacles with built-in projectors to show the wearer images.
It appears that Apple will hold off on releasing augmented reality glasses until technology has progressed to the point where the glasses won't require a separate device for power and batteries.
