Upcoming cheaper Apple Vision Pro might not be standalone device, will require iPhone or Mac

Following the recent report of Apple shifting its focus from the Vision Pro’s successor to a more affordable Vision Pro, Bloomberg now reports that Apple’s second spatial computer, codenamed N107, might not be a standalone device. Instead, it is said to rely on either an iPhone or Mac for its computational capabilities.

The report suggests that the more affordable Vision Pro might have a narrower field of view (FoV) and would need an external computing unit such as an iPhone or a Mac. This could help Apple reduce costs to make it a more budget-friendly device. The cheaper model is also expected to lack features such as the EyeSight display, which projects the user’s digital eyes to the outside world.
