Apple is developing the second generation of Vision Pro to encourage sales of a product that so far are well below expected. And it is that the market of virtual/augmented/mixed reality that promised to be a revolution, is being – with some exception – a complete fiasco and not even the firm of Cupertino has managed to lift it.
The second version of Vision Pro has been located this weekend by Macrumors In Apple code lines, confirming previous information that talked about a visor project with two new models, one more advanced than the current one and another cheaper to try to take it to the consumption market.
The information says that Apple will improve the performance of the second generation of the vision Pro with a New hardware enginethe soc M5 that will also be released in the next MacBook Pro portables. The Development Code does not mention other hardware updates or changes in general design, although it is obvious that Apple is working on it.
Despite generally positive criticisms, there are sections that must be improved, such as their weight of 680 grams that make it tired of using for prolonged periods. A new strap will also premiere for favor its use for longer periods.
The second generation of Vision Pro must have more applications
Beyond hardware and design, The available content They are another great improvement section and their low level at the launch was another sales limiting factor. The immersive video could be a turning point to increase the attractiveness of the viewfinder, but only if there is enough content that justifies the purchase.
Apple has been using third -party productions and, to simplify the process, launched an app for Mac with functions that allow several people to edit content specifically for the immersive category. However, Every month less applications are published in the App Store for this device And some of the best -known VR/AR Applications Development Studies have resigned to launch Apps for Vision Pro.
In addition, third -party productions can only increase the volume of content if Apple acts for the same purpose. They say from Bloomberg that it is not a matter of resources, but a deliberate decision to implement functions and content with droppers. Apparently, Apple already has a large amount of immersive content available, but your time is being taken with the releases so as not to exhaust your current reserve and not being able to boost sales.
Another point to review will be the sale Price. The vision pro part of a price of $ 3,500 and can reach $ 5,000 with all accessories. Too expensive even for the professional segment where it is directed.
