Leaker Kosutami has posted some information – and images – on the successor to the Apple Vision Pro in which he says Apple is working to achieve lighter weight for the headset that may be branded “Apple Vision Air.”
Our next friend in the Vision lineup is so thin, features titanium to reduce weight, including the connectors and the battery, and all comes with iPhone 5-era black- which looks like graphite dark blue. And be noted: this might not called as —Pro but you can Air it out.
Quota: only the few of internal structures would use titanium to reduce weight, most of the outside would be still aluminum features midnight black like surface.
Kosutami also shared an image of the midnight black charging connector for the “Apple Vision Air” here:

MacDailyNews Take: Obviously, a lighter and less expensive visionOS device in a new midnight blue color could sell better than the original heavier and more expensive Apple Vision Pro.

Titanium is heavier than aluminum. It is also more expensive and much harder to work with.
It may be heavier by unit volume, but its so much stronger that you can use significantly less of it (thinner components), thereby reducing overall weight
Why another proprietary connector? What does this connector do that cannot be done through a USB Type C connector?
Apple Vision was a major blunder. It should have been like regular glasses, not a huge pair of diving goggles only used on the couch by wankers.
And unicorns should fart rose petals, Ferraris should be free for everyone and Steve Jobs should come back from the grave. Anything else on your wish list genius?
