Jakarta Apple seems to have accidentally leaked the presence of a new model from the Apple Vision Pro through the newly released Xcode 26 beta. In the latest version of the developer's application, references to devices with the name "Apple Vision Pro 4K" were found, indicating the existence of another more affordable Apple Vision Pro model in the near future.
Xcode 26 was launched simultaneously with iOS 26 and other Apple operating systems at WWDC 2025. All of these new OSs carry a new interface design titled "Liquid Glass". After keynote, Apple immediately rolled out the first beta of iOS 26 and Xcode 26 to developers.
As the main tool for application development in Apple's ecosystem, Xcode often stores internal codes that include unreleased device names. In this case, references to "Apple Vision Pro 4K" appear side by side with the name "Apple Vision Pro", indicating a new classification for currently available models.
The first generation Apple Vision Pro was announced at WWDC 2023 and officially sold to consumers in February 2024. The addition of a 4K label to the device name sparked speculation that Apple was preparing another version that had lower specifications and more affordable prices.
The leak earlier in September 2024 stated that Apple was testing a screen with a density of 1500 pixels per inch (ppi) for this new device, well below Vision Pro's current 3800ppi which is marketed as 4K. This cheaper version is said to be called "Apple Vision" without "Pro" frills, with a price tag of around 2,000 US dollars and is likely to be released in 2026.

The same source said that this cheap version of Apple Vision might use a series-A chip like the one used on the iPhone. In addition, devices may require a connection or tethering with an iPhone or Mac to reduce production costs.
Meanwhile, Apple is also reportedly developing a live successor to the Apple Vision Pro with a significant increase in specifications, including the unreleased use of the M5 chip, titanium materials, and new color options such as dark blue.
Not only that, Apple is still continuing their ambitious project to release smart glasses titled "Apple Glass" which is said to be coming in 2026. Rumors about this device have been circulating since 2015.
With all this information, it is clear that Apple continues to expand their added reality ecosystem (AR), targeting premium markets and also general consumers with more varied pricing strategies.
