Apple plans to release its Vision Pro 2 headset before the end of the year. The tech giant aims to enhance the device's power and comfort for users. Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman spilled the details about Apple's upcoming mixed reality headset. The company aims to fix major complaints about the first version. Apple expects to announce the Vision Pro 2 around the same time as new M5 MacBook Pro models.
The Vision Pro 2 will pack an M4 chip instead of the current M2 processor. This upgrade is expected to deliver significantly improved performance for both graphics and computing tasks. Apple Intelligence features could work better with the faster chip inside. Industry expert Ming-Chi Kuo thinks Apple might even use the M5 chip instead. The new processor will make the headset ready for future software updates.
Apple redesigned the head strap to make wearing the device more comfortable. Many users complained about discomfort during long sessions with the original Vision Pro. The company listened to feedback and developed a more effective strap design. However, Apple has no plans to make the headset lighter. The Vision Pro 2 will weigh about the same as the current model.
A cheaper Vision Pro might arrive in 2027, according to Gurman's report. The current $3,499 price tag often deters people from purchasing the headset. Apple wants to bring mixed reality to more customers with lower prices. The company needs time to cut costs without losing important features. Only a small number of users can currently afford the expensive headset.
