Upgrade on the way for Apple Vision Pro - here's the latest intel
The tech world is abuzz with rumors about Apple's upcoming product, the Vision Pro 2. Multiple credible reports suggest that this long-awaited successor to the original Vision Pro could launch as early as late 2025 or early 2026.
At the heart of the Vision Pro 2 is the new M5 chip, a significant upgrade from the M2 chip currently in use. This upgrade is supported by Apple code discoveries and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s consistent reports, although some sources had suggested an M4 chip, the consensus is now leaning toward the M5.
The M5 processor is expected to provide a serious speed boost to the Apple Vision Pro 2. When paired with the spatial chip, it could significantly improve the speed of the device, potentially making it a formidable competitor in the AR glasses market, which includes competitors like the Meta Quest series and the Viture Luma Pro.
The Vision Pro 2 may also focus on gaming, with potential support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AAA experiences. This could mean that Cyberpunk 2077, a game that runs smoothly on chips more powerful than the M5, could be a possibility on the Vision Pro 2.
In terms of design, the Vision Pro 2 is rumored to feature a new, more comfortable head strap designed to reduce neck strain and improve weight distribution. While there may be no major design or other hardware changes for this iteration, a fully redesigned lighter model with more significant updates is rumored for 2028.
The Vision Pro 2 may also be compatible with smart glasses, with visionOS 26 potentially being optimized for this use. This could open up a new world of possibilities for the device, making it a versatile tool for both work and play.
As we step 10 years into the future of smart glasses, the Apple Vision Pro 2 is shaping up to be a promising contender. While Apple has not officially announced the Vision Pro 2, the prevailing information points to a late 2025 or early 2026 release date featuring the M5 chip and a comfort-optimized strap.
