Apple's forthcoming Vision Pro headset will feature 256GB of storage capacity, but the company could offer flexibility with the second-gen model
Apple's press release details that the Vision Pro will launch with a Dual Loop Band, a Polishing cloth, an external battery pack, and much more. Additionally, the company also shared the prices of the ZEISS Optical Inserts. At launch, the company announced many features of the Vision Pro, for instance, the chipset and the remaining sensors that will power the device. However, Apple did not share the Vision Pro's storage capacity last year.
A handful of speculations suggested that Apple will launch the Vision Pro headset with 512GB of storage capacity. As it turns out, the headset will only house 256GB of storage capacity. We are unsure if the company will offer the 256GB variant as the base model. If the company plans to sell only one variant, users will have no option but to buy the 256GB version. However, users must spend extra bucks above the $3,499 price tag if the company has higher storage models in the queue.
We know the Vision Pro headset will launch with 256GB of storage capacity. Besides the storage, Apple also shares that the Vision Pro headset will be available with different ZEISS Optical Inserts. There are two options available for the lens. The prescription lens will cost you an extra $149, while the reader lens will push you $99 above the standard price. Other than this, the company also details a wide range of functionalities in the press release.
Apple's Vision Pro is the company's second major product after Tim Cook became Apple's CEO. The headset will offer a new way to interact with content and numerous utilities surrounding productivity, gaming, and content consumption. Apple is also currently working with developers to create additional use cases. Furthermore, visionOS is already in its beta phase, and developers are working to fix potential bugs and issues for a fluid launch on February 2.
The company is already working on a second-gen version of the Vision Pro, which could offer users more flexibility regarding storage space. We will cover the launch extensively, so stick around for more details.
