Apple Vision Pro 2: Powerful upgrade with M5 chip, expected to launch late 2025 - early 2026

 

Apple plans to upgrade the Vision Pro 2 from the M2 chip to the upcoming M5 chip, bringing significant performance gains

According to Bloomberg's latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman said that the second-generation Apple Vision Pro is expected to hit the market between fall 2025 and spring 2026. This prediction is largely consistent with previous reports, although it is a bit less optimistic. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported last week that Apple has seriously delayed the launch of a cheaper version of Apple Vision. Instead, the "bitten Apple" will focus on the second-generation Apple Vision Pro, expected to launch next year.

Apple plans to upgrade the Vision Pro 2 from the M2 chip to the upcoming M5 chip, which should bring a significant performance boost. Apple introduced the first-generation Vision Pro with the then-up-to-date M2 chip. However, the rapid release of the M3 and M4 chips soon after made the $3,500 space computer somewhat outdated. Hopefully, this time around, the Apple Vision Pro will be equipped with the M5 chip at the same time as the first Macs, so the product won't be outdated so quickly.

In terms of design, Bloomberg says the Apple Vision Pro 2 will likely look similar to the current generation: "Apple is working on a number of ideas for its Vision glasses, but at least one version of the second-generation Vision Pro — assuming it is released — will look almost identical to the current design. The big changes are on the inside, including a processor upgrade."

Apple’s decision to scrap plans for a cheaper hardware product makes it clear that the company will need to focus on compelling software features to keep the Apple Vision Pro relevant in the market. A prime example is Apple’s recent release of new Wide and Ultra Wide screen options for Mac Virtual Display in visionOS 2.2, a feature that many users have appreciated.
