It seems that Apple may have a problem on its hands with the screens of its new augmented reality glasses, and it is that, although it is known that its price of $3,500 is not exactly for all budgets, the production of these glasses could be severely limited by the production of their components.
Specifically, the problem could be sonythe sole supplier for the Vision Pro screens, since apparently its annual production capacity does not reach one million units per year, with a maximum production of 900,000 units that, together with the fact that each helmet uses two of these screens, It means that Apple will only be able to sell just under half a million headphones a year with luck.
There are other companies that are capable of manufacturing OLEDoS (OLED on Silicon) but knowing Apple, Sony has been chosen as the sole supplier for the quality of its components -and probably price-So it is possible that we will see how in the future Apple talks with other companies to solve this mess.
This can mean a price increase in the second-hand market for these helmets, just as it happened with the PlayStation 5.
