Apple is scheduled to introduce its highly anticipated Vision Pro headset in the United States on January 27, as per supply chain reports mentioned by the “Wall Street Observer.” The tip aligns with Gurman’s report of production ramp-up and a potential February retail launch.
Apple Vision Pro will hit the market earlier than expected
Sony is the primary display supplier for the Vision Pro headset, leveraging their expertise in screen technology for its development. An undisclosed Chinese company also serves as a secondary supplier, with a vital role in increasing production capacity if there’s high demand for the product.
The headset features a silicon-based OLED screen (OLEDoS) that uses a “Color Filter (CF) + WOLED scheme.” This method enhances color reproduction by directing white light through RGB color filters, promising users an outstanding visual experience with clarity, rich colors, and overall screen quality.
However, there are reports that Apple is also reportedly planning to release an upgraded version of its Vision Pro headset in 2027, featuring RGB OLEDoS technology for higher brightness compared to the current WOLED+CF model. RGB OLEDoS generates light and color directly from RGB sub-pixels, eliminating the need for color filters and enhancing the display’s brightness.
Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at Tianfeng International, highlights the strategic importance of Apple’s Vision Pro headset in its 2024 product lineup. Kuo believes it could redefine consumer electronics trends, estimating that Apple plans to ship approximately 500,000 units this year, demonstrating confidence in the product’s potential market demand.
Kuo also suggests that a positive user response to the Vision Pro could make it the “next star product” in consumer electronics, influencing stock prices in the related supply chain and setting a new standard for high-end electronic devices in the tech industry.
Now if we look at the specs of the Vision Pro briefly, it boasts a high-resolution display with over 23 million pixels, powered by the M2 chip and an R1 chip for fast sensor data processing. It includes various sensors, including LiDAR, for tracking user movement and surroundings. Notably, the device can capture 3D photos and videos, offering an immersive experience, and is versatile for gaming, movie-watching, and augmented reality applications. The starting price for the Vision Pro is $3,499.
