This product is a little odd because they started at the high end. But the rest of Apples recent history mostly suggests introducing new products at the high end - iPhone X, iPad Pro, Apple Watch Ultra. There’s no guarantee a year or two from now we’ll have a cheap(er) Vision Pro.The original watch wasn't expensive if you picked the aluminum models. The only expensive model was the gold one. I don't think the price for the aluminum and steel models have changed much at all. The latest models still are priced about the same as the first gen models were.
