Basically consistent with the revelations, Apple released its first mixed reality head-mounted display device Vision Pro and a new 15-inch MacBook Air. In addition, the operating system of Apple's major devices has ushered in an upgrade.
The long-awaited Vision Pro finale debut, this product can be called Apple's most important new product in the past 10 years. Apple spent seven years developing the Vision Pro and delayed its release several times. "This marks the beginning of a journey," Apple CEO Tim Cook said.
Vison Pro is also equipped with M2 and the brand new R1 chip. The R1 chip is specially developed by Apple for this product and is mainly responsible for data transmission. Like other Apple devices, the Vision Pro will have its own operating system called Vision OS.
According to Apple, users can control the Vision Pro with their hands, eyes and voice, and the device will allow users to experience movies, TV shows and games in a more immersive way.

Take Meta's Quest 3, which is scheduled to be released this fall, as an example. The 128GB is priced at $499.99, and the Quest Pro is priced at $1499.99 for the first release.
