In the latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg reported that the 2nd generation of Apple Vision Pro is expected to hit the market between fall of 2025 and spring of 2026. This mostly aligns with previous reports, although slightly less optimistic.
As a refresher, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported last week that Apple had seriously delayed its plans for a cheaper Apple Vision headset, and would instead be focusing on a second generation Apple Vision Pro to release next year.
Apple Vision Pro 2 is currently expected to upgrade from the Apple M2 chip to the currently unreleased M5 chip, providing a massive performance boost. The M2 chip was technically the latest when Apple Vision Pro was unveiled, but M3 and M4 chips were released shortly after, making Apple’s $3500 spatial computer feel a bit dated.
At least this time around, Apple Vision Pro should be getting M5 around the same time as the first Macs will get M5, so it shouldn’t feel as dated, hopefully.
Currently, Apple Vision Pro 2 is highly likely to look about the same as the current generation of Apple Vision Pro, according to Bloomberg:
Apple is working on several ideas for its Vision headset line, but at least one version of the second-generation Vision Pro — assuming it’s released — will look almost entirely like the current design. The big changes are internal, including a processor upgrade.
