Apple Vision Air: The Lightweight, Titanium-Clad Future of AR/VR

Key Points:

• Device Name: The successor to Apple Vision Pro might be called the 'Apple Vision Air.'
• Material and Weight Reduction: The new device will use titanium for its structure, connectors, and battery to reduce weight. This could result in a 10-20% reduction in weight by allowing thinner walls. Titanium's lower heat dissipation capability may mean that some components like the compute unit are moved to the battery housing, potentially leading to up to a 40% weight reduction.
• Color: The Vision Air will feature a graphite dark blue color, often referred to as 'midnight black.'
• Design and Features: It is described as being thin and lighter, with aluminum used for much of the external surface. The charging connector is thicker than a standard Lightning port.
• Leaker Source: These details were shared by leaker Kosutami on X (formerly Twitter).
• Other Reports: Mark Gurman recently reported that Apple is developing two new Vision headsets, one of which is lighter and cheaper, while the other plugs into a Mac.
