Apple’s Upcoming "Vision Air" Headset Promises a Lighter Design and Stylish New Colorway
As Apple continues to innovate in the realm of mixed reality, the tech giant is reportedly gearing up to unveil a new headset dubbed the "Vision Air." This potential successor to the Vision Pro is rumored to bring significant adjustments in design and materials, aiming for a sleeker, more fashionable look while reducing weight and enhancing comfort for users. According to credible leaks, the Vision Air could feature an intriguing blend of titanium and aluminum, likely appealing to both tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
Recent leaks suggest that Apple is in the process of developing a more streamlined version of its mixed reality headset, likely to be named the "Vision Air." This new model is expected to differ from the current Vision Pro, both in form and function. According to renowned leaker Kosutami, the Vision Air will incorporate titanium into some of its internal features, such as the battery and connectors. This strategic use of materials is aimed at significantly reducing the overall weight of the device.

Additionally, there are hints of a new charging connector that will accompany the Vision Air. This connector is reported to be thicker than the existing Lightning port and will be finished to match the headset’s aesthetics.

The timing of these leaks is particularly noteworthy, especially in light of recent reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, which noted that Apple is actively exploring two new Vision headset models. One in this pair is designed to be more lightweight and affordable, while the other may serve as a high-end tethered device optimized for Mac integration. With the Vision Pro currently priced at $3,499, a more accessible model like the Vision Air could be crucial for Apple’s efforts to broaden its audience in the immersive tech market.
