Apple is working on a new version of the Vision Pro with two key advantages over the current model, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

Specifically, in his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said Apple is developing a new headset that is both lighter and less expensive than the current Vision Pro, which starts at $3,499 in the U.S. and weighs up to 1.5 pounds.

Gurman said Apple is also working on another version of the Vision Pro that can have a wired connection with a Mac, for an ultra-low-latency experience.

”The idea is to create an ultra-low-latency system for streaming a user’s Mac display or for connecting to high-end enterprise applications,” said Gurman. ”Some customers have been using the Vision Pro for things like viewing imaging during surgery or for flight simulators. Those are two areas where a user would want the least amount of lag possible — something that can’t be guaranteed by a fully wireless system.”

Some industry experts boldly claim that generative AI will soon replace human software developers. With tools like GitHub Copilot and AI-driven ”vibe” coding startups, it may seem that AI has already significantly impacted software engineering. However, a new study suggests that AI still has a long way to go before replacing human programmers.

The Microsoft Research study acknowledges that while today’s AI coding tools can boost productivity by suggesting examples, they are limited in actively seeking new information or interacting with code execution when these solutions fail. However, human developers routinely perform these tasks when debugging, highlighting a significant gap in AI’s capabilities.
