Apple to use titanium for its Vision Pro 2 to cut down on weight

One of Apple Vision Pro's biggest drawbacks, perhaps second only to the price, is the weight. Reportedly, Apple is putting a lot of effort into reducing that in the second generation. According to tipster Kosutami on X, Apple plans to do so by incorporating titanium into the Vision Pro 2's construction.

Following the X thread, however, reveals that Apple won't use titanium for the whole chassis but mostly for the internal construction. The outside of the headset will still be aluminum, painted in black, which looks a lot like "dark graphite blue", reminiscent of the iPhone 5 era.

Moreover, the X post suggests that Apple's next AR headset will likely not be called "Vision Pro 2" but "Vision" or "Vision Air", reflecting its new lightweight design.

It will be interesting to see how titanium will fit the overall bill since Apple is also trying to reduce the device's cost with the next iteration, and titanium is pretty costly.
