Mark Gurman reports that Apple is looking at some interesting ideas for a more affordable visionOS headset, including tethering the device to an iPhone or a Mac. Tethering to an iPhone doesn’t seem much different from being connected to a battery, as it currently does. Tethering to a Mac, however, feels like an entirely different kettle of fish.

If Apple is rethinking its Vision strategy, my two cents would be to make the currently shipping hardware more attractive:

• More immersive content
• More sports
• More immersive concert footage
• More environments
• More productivity software and workflows

There is a lot of blue sky left for Vision and visionOS, but a more compelling software and content story needs to come first.
