“Making people want to afford it before making it affordable” will likely go down as the smartest move Apple is making with the AVP.

They won't take anything away. Or at least, they won't compromise on the key things that make it good.

Right now they call it "pro" and keep the price high for early adopters and tech enthusiasts who will pay it.

Then they release the regular version.... alongside "Pro 2".

Pro 2 gets some fancy new features, while the regular version (and cheaper version) hits much of the same performance as the Pro 1 but for a more reasonable price.

So everyone is happy: early adopters got to have Pro 1 while everyone else had nothing, people who waited get a cheaper model that is just as good as this version, and enthusiasts who have $ to spend get to upgrade to a Pro 2 that is even better.

I think that is largely why they are introducing it at this price.

If they didn’t hit a certain level of screen quality/ resolution, it wouldn’t be useable as a head-mounted PC.

So my guess would be that a cheaper model gets introduced with similar specs and features to the AVP as we have now…. But launch it alongside an Apple vision pro 2 that has even better specs.
