In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me hearties, the Apple Vision Pro be a fantastical bit o' mixed reality kit, blendin' impressive hardware and an innovative user interface. But as ye'll see in our Apple Visio Pro review, it be far from perfect; throw in a $3,499 price tag and other early-adopter woes, and the headset be not for most scallywags.Arr, Apple be rumored to be workin' on next-generation and potentially cheaper versions of the Vision Pro. But Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who be a renowned and accurate Apple tipster, hath said the Cupertino crew be some 18 months away from releasin' a ‘Vision Pro 2’, with a roadmap that reportedly won't see a second-generation model ready until the end o' 2026.Blimey!
