Apple's Vision Pro successor likely delayed to 2026 due to challenges in cost reduction.

Apple faces challenges in making the Vision Pro cheaper, with a new report stating that the successor to its $3,499 AR headset may not be released until the end of 2026. The company's long-term goals have not changed, but it is currently struggling to find a way to reduce the headset's cost. Price remains a significant barrier for mass adoption of the Vision Pro and Apple aims to address this issue in order for the product category to succeed.
