This doesn’t say that the Vision Pro is abandoned at all.
In fact, it implies the opposite. They have paused development of a Vision Pro 2 and are instead accelerating development of their planned lower-cost headset.
Seems to me that they will be having the Vision Pro (1st gen) as their supported flagship for longer than expected.
Let me guess. Add infrared cameras onto the Airpods, costing them very little extra, and using it as justification for an £80 price rise.
