Apple introduced its mixed reality headset, Vision Pro, last year and made it available for general sale in February 2024.
According to a report by Bloomberg, the 2nd generation Apple Vision Pro is expected to be released between the fall of 2025 and the spring of 2026.
MORE AFFORDABLE HEADSETS POSTPONED
As a reminder, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported last week that Apple has significantly postponed plans for a cheaper Apple Vision headset and will instead focus on the second-generation Apple Vision Pro, which is set to be released next year.
M5 CHIP MAY BE TESTED FOR THE FIRST TIME
Apple aims for a significant performance boost in the Vision Pro 2 by replacing the M2 chip with the upcoming M5 chip.
The first-generation Vision Pro was introduced with the M2, which was the most current chip at the time of its release; however, the subsequent release of the M3 and M4 chips shortly after caused the $3,500 mixed reality headset to fall slightly behind in terms of hardware.
Additionally, the design of the Apple Vision Pro 2 is expected to remain largely the same as the current generation Vision Pro.
