Apple Scales Back Vision Pro Production, Marketing After Sluggish Sales: Report - Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META)
Apple cut Vision Pro marketing by up to 95% and shipped an estimated 45,000 units last quarter due to high price and competition from cheaper VR headsets.
- Last year, the Financial Times reported Apple Inc. pulled back Vision Pro production and cut marketing by as much as 95%, signaling a major promotion reduction.
- Analysts say the Vision Pro's steep price of $3,499 and product limits narrowed buyers to wealthier and die‑hard fans, while reviewers flagged bulk, limited battery life and few native apps as hurdles.
- Luxshare halted Vision Pro production early last year after shipping roughly 390,000 units, while IDC expects about 45,000 units in the last quarter of 2025.
- Shifting priorities, Apple is moving toward smart glasses and lower-priced Vision Pro headsets this year while planning AI-powered glasses later.
- Market contraction and Meta Platforms' Quest devices dominate roughly 80%, with Counterpoint Research noting the VR market fell 14%, and Vision Pro's shipments remain tiny compared to Apple's core hardware.
