It goes without saying that Apple’s Vision Pro is a premium product designed for early adopters. Sporting a retail price of $3,499, the device is undeniably cost-prohibitive for most consumers. In turn, it’s not exactly shocking that early Vision Pro sales haven’t been through the roof. The Vision Pro is certainly an incredible piece of forward-thinking technology, but to date, it hasn't ushered in a new wave of computing as many assumed. Apple, meanwhile, is reportedly working on a more affordable Vision Pro model, but it may not arrive until 2027 at the earliest, according to analyst MIng-Chi Kuo. As we detailed last week, Apple is in no rush to release a cheaper Vision Pro because it’s not convinced that a lower pricepoint in and of itself will help drive an upswing in sales. “I think what really drove Apple to delay the cheaper Vision Pro is that simply reducing the price wouldn’t help create successful use cases,” Kuo writes. “It’s similar to the HomePod situation—even after launching the cheaper HomePod mini, Apple’s smart speakers failed to become mainstream products.” So what does this mean for the Vision Pro roadmap? Well, a second-gen Vision Pro — likely at the same pricepoint — is already in the works. According to Mark Gurman over at Bloomberg, Apple is planning to release a revamped Vision Pro sometime between September 2025 and spring 2026. A lot can happen over the next 12-18 months, but reliable analysts have relayed that the next-gen Vision Pro will ship with an M5 processor, which would be a nice improvement over the current Vision Pro's M2 chip. Gurman writes: Apple is working on several ideas for its Vision headset line, but at least one version of the second-generation Vision Pro — assuming it’s released — will look almost entirely like the current design. The big changes are internal, including a processor upgrade. Apple's latest Vision Pro feature is striking Meanwhile, the first VisionOS 2.2 beta recently introduced a wide and ultrawide mode to the Mac Virtual Display feature. Apple's release notes relay that the new Mac Virtual Display options are akin to "having an expandable, ultrawide screen that wraps around you." Apple adds that it's like having 2 4K displays sitting right next to each other, as illustrated in the striking photo below. Image source: Apple Inc. While I'm hesitant to call it a killer app or feature that will suddenly cause a discernible sales boost, it does show that Apple is slowly but surely improving the Vision Pro user experience. Hopefully, it's only a matter of time before we see an explosion in content designed specifically for the Vision Pro.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., has accepted President-elect Donald Trump's offer to be his U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, the New York Post reported Monday morning.

Widespread deportation of foreign-born workers from the United States probably would disrupt some businesses, but the impact on inflation and the broad economy would depend on the details, Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari said.

President-elect Donald Trump says Tom Homan, his former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, will serve as "border czar" in his incoming administration.

Robert Norman Ross, known as Bob Ross, was famous for hosting PBS’ The Joy of Painting, where he would show off his artistic skills while teaching viewers to hone theirs. He was on the show for 11 years until 1994, after which he died of Lymphoma the following year. Bob had two children during his lifetime, Jimmie and Steve. The latter now carries on his legacy as a skillful painter. Steve, who sometimes appeared on Bob’s show, is picking up his paintbrushes again after leaving them behind for years. Meet Bob Ross’s son, Steve, who is continuing his late father’s legacy BOB ROSS: HAPPY ACCIDENTS, BETRAYAL & GREED, from left: Steve Ross, Bob Ross/Everett Bob had Steve from his marriage to Vivian Ridge, who died of cancer in 1992. Growing up with painters for parents, it was only right that Steve knew how to work a paintbrush. Steve recalled falling into depression after losing his parents, noting that his love for art helped him cope. The 58-year-old toured countries to offer painting workshops in the ‘80s and ‘90s, after which he took a hiatus to deal with personal issues. Steve is now back to hosting these sessions alongside a business partner, Dana Jester. His painting style reminds fans of Bob, who believed in learning from “happy accidents” at work. BOB ROSS: HAPPY ACCIDENTS, BETRAYAL & GREED, from left: Steve Ross, Bob Ross, Dana Jester/Everett Steve Ross fought for his father’s legacy Following Bob’s passing, Steve got into a legal battle with his father’s longtime partners, The Kowalskis, who wanted all the late artist’s intellectual rights—his name, voice, image, and works. Steve sued the family, noting that he owned rights to Bob’s interests and intellectual property via a trust; however, he lost the case. The documentary Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed explored the fight for Bob’s legacy and called for a boycott of his branded products as the Kowalskis profited off them. Thanks to his father’s name, Steve makes money from his workshop tours, which he returned to in 2021.
