Apple\u2019s foray into the XR wearable segment may not have stirred the same kind of success that it tasted with the likes of theiPhone<\/a>or theApple Watch<\/a>, but the company is still moving ahead with future iterations. While plans of a cheaper headset may have been pushed, the Vision Pro could get a successor within a year, or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg reported that the 2nd generation of Apple Vision Pro is expected to hit the market between fall of 2025 and spring of 2026.That window puts the official reveal in roughly the same frame as the launch of updated iPhones and the sporadic Mac hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as changes go, Apple is reportedly experimenting with multiple ideas. But Gurman claims that one of the design candidates for the Vision Pro 2 would look exactly like its predecessor. That won\u2019t be out of character for Apple, as the company regularly iterates on internal hardware without changing the external aesthetics of its gear across the iPhone, Mac, or Apple Watch portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sounds like a sane strategy Vision Pro successor because it\u2019s a product with arguably the most sophisticated engineering work that Apple has delivered in years. It would make sense \u2014 especially from an R&D investment perspective \u2014 to maintain the fundamental architecture and make upgrades where it\u2019s needed, which is added processing firepower and a refined software experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a refresher, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported last week that Apple had seriously delayed its plans for a cheaper Apple Vision headset, and would instead be focusing on a second generation Apple Vision Pro to release next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple plans to upgrade the Vision Pro 2 from the M2 chip to the upcoming M5 chip, delivering a massive performance boost. Apple unveiled the first gen Vision Pro with the then-latest M2 chip, but the quick release of the M3 and M4 chips soon after made the $3,500 spatial computer feel a bit dated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least this time around, Apple Vision Pro should be getting M5 around the same time as the first Macs will get M5, so it shouldn\u2019t feel as dated, hopefully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
