Apple's mixed reality headset, Vision Pro, is reportedly struggling and selling poorly.
According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, Apple has a few ideas on how to revive the device.
However, only a couple of Gurman's suggestions, such as introducing a cheaper Vision Pro model, seem relevant.
Gurman speculates that Apple could also integrate the headset's features into a new set of smart glasses, or create AirPods with external cameras to interpret the world for the user.
There are parallels between Vision Pro's current situation and that of Apple's original HomePod: both expensive items without cheaper alternatives.
A cheaper sibling device is required to give people an easier route into the ecosystem and for the product to have a broader appeal.
Apple is reportedly developing a more affordable Vision Pro model which would help offset sales challenges and competition from rivals like Microsoft and Meta.
A reset with a more affordable Vision Pro model could help Apple avoid stagnation and gain a competitive edge.
Apple's failure to introduce a cheaper HomePod option initially eventually led to a reboot of the product line.
Apple appears to have learned from that, and with the introduction of a cheaper Vision Pro model, they may see similar success.
