This is the best summary I could come up with:
A report by tech news site The Information suggests that Apple is shifting its augmented reality priorities.
Apple had originally intended to present this headset alongside the Vision Pro, similar to the models available in each iPhone release.
The more affordable model would likely have fewer cameras, smaller speakers, and weigh less, though Apple has struggled to bring down the cost of the unit's displays.
The Information cites current and former Meta employees in describing how the company had killed plans for its own higher-end headset in January 2023, but it then began work on a new premium model five months after Apple's Vision Pro debut.
The Vision Pro will launch in China, Japan, Australia, and many European countries later this month.
The Information's sources suggest that Apple has produced roughly 500,000 Vision Pro headsets and will not make significantly more, despite the entry of these new markets.
