Apple 'Vision Air' Headset Rumored to Feature Thinner, Lighter Design With 'Midnight' Finish

A new Apple "Vision Air" headset is reportedly in development, according to a prototype collector. This lighter and thinner headset is rumored to feature a "Midnight" blue finish, a departure from the Vision Pro's silver. The Vision Air will use titanium components to reduce weight, while maintaining an aluminum exterior. A new Lightning-style connector, with eight pins, is also linked to the upcoming Vision device. This connector suggests a more substantial redesign compared to the Vision Pro's 12-pin connector. Apple is anticipated to release a second-generation Vision Pro with the M5 chip soon. The "Vision Air" could represent Apple's lower-cost headset, which has been widely rumored. Kosutami, the leaker, has a mixed but notable track record for Apple rumors. Kosutami previously revealed details on the FineWoven Apple Watch band and the iPhone 15 Pro's features. The information suggests Apple is planning an updated and more affordable mixed-reality device.
