Vision Pro 3: The AR Revolution for All?

When the first Vision Pro launched, it was a $3,500 developer's dream. By late 2026, Apple is set to change the game again with the Vision Pro 3 and the rumored Vision Air.

👓 Lighter and Sleeker

The biggest complaint about the first two models was the weight. Leaked schematics for 2026 show a 30% reduction in headset weight, utilizing a new magnesium-carbon fiber alloy frame.

🔋 External Battery... Still?

Most rumors suggest that while the battery will remain external to keep the headset light, the 2026 version will feature a "Hot-Swap" capability, allowing you to change battery packs without shutting down the OS.

💰 The 'Air' Pricing

Apple is targeting a $1,499 price point for the Vision Air. To achieve this, some features like the external 'EyeSight' display and the high-end fabric headband might be simplified or made optional.

🤝 Integration with iPhone 18

The Vision Pro 3 will be the first to feature deep integration with the upcoming iPhone 18, allowing the phone to act as a powerful co-processor for heavy AR rendering.

Will 2026 be the year spatial computing goes mainstream? 🍎🥽
