Upgraded Apple Vision Pro 2: Key Details Revealed
Apple's augmented reality (AR) device, the Vision Pro, has been making waves since its launch. However, some users have expressed concerns about its weight and bulkiness, making it difficult to wear for extended periods. In an interview, John Gearty, former Engineering Program Manager at Apple and the developer of the Vision Pro, suggests a design refresh for the next version of the device.
According to Gearty, the Apple Vision Air could be a potential next step. He believes that this lightweight, airy design would be a great addition to the Apple brand.
In addition to a potential design overhaul, there are speculations about an October event where Apple may unveil an M5 MacBook Pro and an M5-equipped Vision Pro. If these rumours are true, the Vision Pro 2 is expected to receive an upgrade, with the R2 chip taking centre stage.
The current Apple Vision Pro features an M2 chip and an R1 chip for input processing. The upgrade will reportedly include a new R2 chip, which is expected to result in a significant jump in performance. The R2 chip's manufacturing is rumoured to be handled by TSMC using their latest 2nm process technology, the same process rumoured for the A20 chip for iPhones and the M6 for Macs.
The R1 chip processes input from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones, streaming new images to the displays within 12 milliseconds, which is 8 times faster than the blink of an eye. The architecture of the R1 chip has not been revealed, but the upgrade to the R2 chip is expected to bring about exciting improvements.
