Today leaker Kosutami posted the following on X:

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.

There are several key details worth noting here:

Kosutami mentions the device being “thin,” which could point to an interesting hardware revamp
Titanium will be employed not just for the headset but also connectors and battery
Graphite black/blue color
and finally the ‘Air’ naming hint

In a follow-up post, there’s clarification that the Vision Air will still use aluminum on much of the outside in a “midnight black like surface,” but titanium will especially help out with internal components for weight reduction.

Separately, Kosutami also offered a glimpse at the new connector for the Vision Air product, which is thicker than a standard Lightning port.

    I get the desire to have it feel premium, but using any kind of alloy will result in a heavier headset, and that’s just not the right choice

      They need to focus on low cost and low weight. They can even focus on looks as well, but metal should be limited in this headset.
