Initially expected in early 2024, the launch has been postponed multiple times.

Apple has postponed the release of a more affordable version of its Apple Vision headset, initially planned for 2025, to beyond 2027, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Despite this delay, Apple is still set to release a new version of the Apple Vision Pro next year, featuring the M5 chip and Apple Intelligence support. Kuo suggests that Apple is cautious about the market potential of a $2000 headset, drawing parallels to the limited success of the HomePod mini.
