The Apple Vision Pro headset is an ambitious project that may require up to four generations to achieve its “ideal form.” This insight comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who suggests that the Apple Vision Products Group is aware of the significant improvements needed before the device can be seamlessly integrated into daily use. Early adopters have pointed out several issues with the first-generation device, such as its weight, battery life, lack of dedicated apps, and bugs in visionOS. Addressing these concerns is crucial for the Vision Pro’s evolution, potentially mirroring the developmental paths of the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. If successful, the Vision Pro could even replace the iPad in the future.
The Apple Vision Pro has captured the world’s attention with its innovative features, but it’s clear that the device is not without its flaws. The headset’s current form has been criticized for its weight and user experience, indicating that significant enhancements are necessary. Gurman’s report aligns with broader industry observations that the Vision Pro, while ahead of its competitors, is still in the early stages of development. Apple is reportedly working on a second-generation Vision Pro and a more affordable version, but the most refined iteration may not arrive until the fourth generation.
