    Apple might launch a cheaper Vision headset called Vision Air this year

    Apple is working on a new mixed-reality headset that could be released by the end of this year, according to a report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The new device might be called the “Vision Air” and would be a more affordable option compared to the current Vision Pro headset.

    Kuo says the Vision Air is expected to be lighter, have fewer features, and cost less than the Vision Pro, which starts at $3,499. While the Vision Air might drop some high-end specs to lower the price, it will still offer a strong mixed-reality experience. Apple’s goal seems to be making spatial computing more available to a larger number of people.

    The final pricing is not confirmed yet, but earlier reports suggest Apple is aiming for something between $1,500 and $2,500. Mass production could start in the second half of 2025, but Apple might announce it earlier to build excitement.

    Apple is also working on a second-generation Vision Pro with better performance, but that model is likely to stay expensive. For now, the Vision Air could become a key product for Apple if it manages to offer a balance of performance and affordability.

    Kuo also mentioned that some changes are happening in Apple’s Vision headset team, including leadership adjustments to improve the product line.

    Apple cuts gas emissions by 55%, rumored to launch lighter Vision headset

    Apple has shared some big progress in its environmental work, saying it has cut greenhouse gas emissions by over 55% since 2015. The company also said that almost all iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches now use clean electricity. This update came just before Earth Day and is part of Apple’s plan to be carbon neutral across its entire business and supply chain by 2030.

    Lisa Jackson, Apple’s Vice President of Environment, said they’re making real changes in the way their products are made, especially through clean energy use. Apple also mentioned that over 320 of its suppliers are now using 100% renewable energy. The company continues to invest in eco-friendly projects around the world, including solar and wind power.

    Meanwhile, rumors are heating up about a new Apple Vision headset called “Vision Air.” It’s expected to be thinner, lighter, and more affordable than the current Vision Pro. While details are still unclear, this new version may drop some features to lower the price, possibly launching by the end of 2025.

    Apple is said to be working on two versions of its headset—one premium and one cheaper. The “Vision Air” would be the budget-friendly model, focused on being comfortable and more accessible. Though nothing is official yet, leaks suggest that Apple is moving ahead quickly with this new design.

    These updates show that Apple is not only focusing on green energy but also working to make its new technology more user-friendly.
