Apple teases an 'immersive music experience' from The Weeknd coming to Vision Pro

Apple is introducing a new "immersive music experience" for the Apple Vision Pro headset with Canadian singer The Weeknd. The trailer above teases what you'll expect to see on Thursday, November 15. It will feature his unreleased song, Open Hearts, which he previewed at a concert in Australia last month. If you don't own a Vision Pro, you can watch the experience by requesting a free demo of the headset at Apple Stores where it is available.

Another Apple product we might not see soon is the more affordable version of the Apple Vision Pro. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a tweet on Sunday that the mixed-reality headset might be "delayed beyond 2027." The reasons he cited its lackluster mass appeal.

"I think what really drove Apple to delay the cheaper Vision Pro is that simply reducing the price wouldn't help create successful use cases," Kuo wrote. "It's similar to the HomePod situation -- even after launching the cheaper HomePod mini, Apple's smart speakers failed to become mainstream products."

Apple appears to be prioritizing a more affordable mixed reality (MR) headset over the next-generation Vision Pro, according to a new report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Gurman's Power On newsletter details Apple's plans for the "N107," a prototype for a lower-cost headset. This model would reportedly have a narrower field of view than the Vision Pro and might rely on a tethered iPhone or Mac for processing power. This approach would significantly reduce production costs compared to the standalone Vision Pro.
