Bono says Apple wants to make the Vision Pro 'more affordable', so what's the holdup?

The Apple Vision Pro remains a top mixed-reality experience but is too expensive for most at $3,499.
Contestants on Price is Right guessed prices of $750 to $1,250 for the Vision Pro, showing lack of awareness about its high cost.
Bono, in a recent interview, mentioned Apple's desire to make the Vision Pro 'more affordable' and 'more democratic'.
Rumors suggest Apple may release a cheaper version (Vision Lite) rather than lowering the price of the current Vision Pro model.
The current price of $3,500 makes the Vision Pro a significant investment, comparable to a vacation or luxury items.
While Bono believes people will eventually be able to afford the Vision Pro, the high price remains a barrier for many consumers.
The Vision Pro offers an exceptional experience, but its cost limits accessibility to a broader audience.
Apple's commitment to innovation and experimentation may lead to future offerings that are more affordable and accessible.
Recommendations include experiencing the Vision Pro at an Apple Store to understand its value, despite the high price.
Despite Bono's comments, the current pricing of the Vision Pro poses a challenge for widespread adoption in the near future.
