I was really thinking that EyeSight would be the first thing to be touchbarred but it looks like I might be wrong.

Anyway, we got plenty of time before the headset's release. Original iPhone was announced at $1000 but rapidly saw its price go down to $500. Let's hope for the best

Hence the "Pro" designation - it was 100% obvious that one was coming. The real question is what will Apple compromise to get a lower cost Vision to the masses?

I think one of the big differences will be with the speakers. If they make the standard model require AirPods, they can eliminate speakers entirely and save significantly on cost.

Another possibility is moving from metal to plastic for the frame design. This saves on cost and weight. They could also take out the 3D camera.

I strongly believe they won't compromise on the display resolution or the EyeSight feature, though it's possible they'll be able to fake the lenticular effect using software and opt for a simpler outward-facing display.
