Apple's Vision Pro headset has been criticized for its weight, prompting efforts to lighten the device in its second generation. Tipster Kosutami reveals that Apple plans to incorporate titanium in its next model, specifically for internal construction, while retaining an aluminum exterior. Furthermore, the headset's name may change to 'Vision' or 'Vision Air' to reflect its lightweight design. However, the challenge remains to balance the use of costly titanium with the overall goal of reducing production costs.
One of Apple Vision Pro's biggest drawbacks, perhaps second only to the price, is the weight. Reportedly, Apple is putting a lot of effort into reducing that in the second generation.
According to tipster Kosutami on X, Apple plans to do so by incorporating titanium into the Vision Pro 2's construction.
Moreover, the X post suggests that Apple's next AR headset will likely not be called 'Vision Pro 2' but 'Vision' or 'Vision Air', reflecting its new lightweight design.
It will be interesting to see how titanium will fit the overall bill since Apple is also trying to reduce the device's cost with the next iteration, and titanium is pretty costly.
