Apple has reportedly pulled back on its ambitious Vision Pro headset following disappointing sales, according to insider sources. The product, which costs a staggering $3,499, has sold around 600,000 units since its launch.
Updates and Price
While Apple has updated the Vision Pro with a 120Hz refresh rate, 10% more rendered pixels, and around 30 extra minutes of battery life, the price has remained unchanged. The company has now decided to stop active development on the Vision Pro line, as reported by The Sun.
iCloud Storage Scam Warning
In related news, Apple users were recently warned about a 'nasty' iCloud storage scam. The UK consumer body Which? issued a warning in a Facebook post, stating: "Every Apple user needs to know about this nasty scam doing the rounds."
Which?'s Tali Ramsay explained: "All of the emails claim that either your storage is full and you will no longer receive emails to your iCloud account, or that your payment method has expired. They include a dangerous link to receive 'free storage space' or 'update your payment method.'
"Some versions of this email claimed that you're 'at risk of losing your photos, videos and important files', and that you must 'upgrade today to keep your precious files and memories safe'."
One email seen by experts had the subject line: "We've blocked your account! Your photos and videos will be deleted on [date]." It was headlined "iCloud Storage Alert" and stated: "Storage limit reached … your iCloud account has reached its maximum storage capacity."
Another email said: "Your payment method has expired!… Your cloud service has been disabled." A third claimed: "Payment failed for your Cloud storage renewal."
