      This doesn’t say that the Vision Pro is abandoned at all.

      In fact, it implies the opposite. They have paused development of a Vision Pro 2 and are instead accelerating development of their planned lower-cost headset.

      Seems to me that they will be having the Vision Pro (1st gen) as their supported flagship for longer than expected.

        the tech giant has suspended work on the next Vision Pro and is looking for ways to cut costs for a cheaper model that could ship by the end of next year

        It absolutely does not. Which non-shitty version of their currently absolutely shitty headset did you think was going to be the magic one that actually works the way describe and advertise? Lolol

          It absolutely does. I’m not sure why you’re trying to spread misinformation, but Apple clearly hasn’t dropped VR or the Vision Pro, and your own source proves it.

              Yes you did. If you can’t remember your own words, you can literally just scroll up.

              I doubt it’s for their fun headset since they’ve already abandoned it.

                  What are you talking about? They never said they were making a gaming-focused headset. We were talking about the Vision Pro and you said Apple abandoned it.

                    Yes they did. I was at WWDC, and they punted to the upcoming version of the headset that would do what they already claimed it would.

                    From the horses mouth: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/02/apple-announces-more-than-600-new-apps-built-for-apple-vision-pro/

                    None of the mention of gaming is true or possible with the current gen, and they specifically said they were developing an “upcoming headset for gamers” that was tailored to this. Now it’s cancelled, and even if you pull the “well, they REALLY meant…” bullshit, they specifically talked about how “easy” it was to port games from the App Store, which was never possible. Flat out bullshit.
