Content is critical to success

According to IDC analysts, the introduction of a more affordable version of the Vision Pro could potentially reignite consumer interest.

Francisco Jeronimo, vice president at IDC, stressed that the availability of content is crucial to Vision Pro's success.

Additionally, there are questions about the Vision Pro's practicality.

Vision Pro: Cutting-edge technology
