Manufacturing problems cause Apple to reduce the production of its new 'spatial computing' headset.
says, “two China-based sole suppliers of certain components for the Vision Pro said Apple was only asking them for enough for 130,000 to 150,000 units in the first year.”
They believe that the challenge in design arose while manufacturing Vision Pro’s sleek screens as it comprises two micro-OLED displays catering to both eyes separately. Equipping the outward-facing, curved “lenticular” lens has also proven difficult.says that the headsets’ inward displays offer a resolution exceeding anything currently on the market, while the outward lens projects the headset wearer’s eyes to the outside world.
Despite successful demonstrations at the launch, Apple was thought to be dissatisfied with the yield of the displays, unidentified sources said. Terushi Shimizu, head of Sony’s semiconductor unit in a recent media roundtable said that Sony was apprehensive about the VR market, and thus was reluctant to step-up production. Although, they are constructing a new plant with the aim of ramping up production for the chips used in smartphone cameras.
