  • Ready for the M5 chipset? Vision Pro 2 is rumored to pack some serious power.
  • Could Apple finally drop the price on its $3,500 headset? Find out more inside.

As anticipation builds for Apple’s next step in spatial computing, rumors of the Apple Vision Pro 2 are starting to take shape. Set to follow the 2024 debut of the original Vision Pro, the second generation is expected to refine Apple’s augmented reality headset with a host of new features, including the powerful M5 chipset and enhanced hand gesture controls.

Here’s a look at what we know so far about the Apple Vision Pro 2, from the expected release date to key features and anticipated pricing.

Release Date: When Can We Expect It?

While Apple hasn’t officially confirmed the release date for the Vision Pro 2, industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted the second-generation headset will enter mass production in the second half of 2025. This timeline makes sense given the original Vision Pro’s launch earlier in 2024, following its 2023 announcement at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

If history is any indicator, we might hear more about the Vision Pro 2 at WWDC 2024, but for now, we’ll have to wait for official confirmation.


What to Expect from the Apple Vision Pro 2

Apple’s Vision Pro 2 is shaping up to be a significant upgrade from its predecessor. The device will reportedly feature a more powerful M5 chipset, which promises to dramatically boost computing performance and enhance integration with Apple Intelligence, Apple’s suite of AI-powered features.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the Vision Pro 2’s hardware design won’t stray too far from the original, but this consistency could actually help Apple reduce production costs and maintain a competitive price point.

Features Overview:

  1. Augmented and Virtual Reality: The Vision Pro 2 will continue to offer both AR and VR experiences through its 23 million-pixel micro-OLED display. Expect immersive visuals that outshine a standard 4K TV.
  2. Hand Gestures: Gesture control, a feature that was somewhat underwhelming in the first generation, is expected to see significant improvements. Swiping, pinching, and flicking your wrist to control visionOS should feel much smoother.
  3. Spatial Audio: Experience sound with depth through the Vision Pro 2’s built-in speakers, creating a more immersive environment.
  4. 3D Photos and Videos: Capture life in three dimensions and transform your existing 2D photos into immersive spatial memories.

The Vision Pro 2’s upgrade to the M5 chipset is one of the most anticipated changes, with Kuo emphasizing that it “will significantly improve computing power and ensure the best Apple Intelligence user experience.”Will the Vision Pro 2’s M5 chipset offer the performance boost Apple fans are hoping for?Photo via MacRumors // Will the Vision Pro 2’s M5 chipset offer the performance boost Apple fans are hoping for?

Battery Life

One area where users are hoping for improvement is battery life. The first-generation Vision Pro delivered about 2 hours of use, which was seen as a limitation. Whether the Vision Pro 2 will address this remains to be seen, but battery performance will be crucial for long-term adoption.


Pricing: Can We Expect a Price Cut?

Apple’s original Vision Pro launched at a hefty $3,500, a price point that limited its mass appeal. With less than 100,000 units sold in its first year, Apple might look to drop the price with the Vision Pro 2, making the device more accessible to a broader audience. Ming-Chi Kuo has hinted that the price could stay the same or possibly come down in future models.

Given that much of the Vision Pro 2’s hardware is expected to stay consistent with its predecessor, cost-saving in production could allow for a reduced price.


Final Thoughts

The Apple Vision Pro 2 could be Apple’s opportunity to breathe new life into its vision for spatial computing. With AI integration and improved gesture controls, this next-gen device has the potential to change the way users interact with their digital worlds.

While the original Vision Pro received mixed reviews, the Vision Pro 2, with its refined hardware and possible price adjustments, could finally deliver on Apple’s ambitious promise of augmented reality for the masses.

As we await further announcements, keep an eye out for WWDC 2024 for more potential details.
