Apple Vision Pro Sales Plummet, Production Slashed by Half
Apple has significantly reduced its production targets for the Vision Pro headset due to lower-than-expected demand in the U.S., with plans for global expansion uncertain.
- Apple has cut its production forecast for the Vision Pro mixed reality headset from up to 800,000 units to 400,000 to 450,000 units in 2024.
- The high price of $3,499 and the bulky design have contributed to the lackluster demand among consumers.
- Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that a planned update to the headset in 2025 may be canceled due to poor sales performance.
- Market analysts speculate that the Vision Pro's failure to find a significant market could impact broader trends in the MR and VR industries.
- Despite its advanced technology, the Vision Pro lacks compelling applications to justify its high cost, leading to a rapid decline in consumer interest.
