Code shared by Apple and discovered by MacRumors<\/a>\u00a0has seemingly confirmed that Vision Pro isn\u2019t getting a massive overhaul in its next generation, instead pointing to a hardware refresh that will feature Apple\u2019s upcoming M5 chipset.<\/p>\n

This follows previous reports from last year, including those from independent analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman, that suggested Apple was getting some\u00a0flavor of Apple\u2019s M-chip in its next release; Kuo reported it was M5<\/a>, and Gurman reported M4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additionally,\u00a0MacRumors reports that the\u00a0refreshed Vision Pro \u201cisn\u2019t expected to feature any design changes or hardware updates aside from the new chip,\u201d although it could feature a new, more comfortable head strap.<\/p>\n

Considering Vision Pro might include the company\u2019s flagship mobile chipset, we probably shouldn\u2019t expect it to be any cheaper than the original, which went on sale in February 2024 for $3,500, and included its older M2 chipset, which was released in June 2022.<\/p>\n

Notably, in Kuo\u2019s report from late 2024, he suggested a cheaper version of Vision Pro was delayed \u201cbeyond 2027\u201d, which conflicted with an earlier\u00a0report from\u00a0The Information<\/a>\u00a0in mid-2024 that alleged Apple was on track to release something more affordable first,\u00a0and then\u00a0release a more powerful Vision Pro 2 at a later point.<\/p>\n

And while releasing an M5 refresh of Vision Pro could be seen as \u2018kicking the can down the road\u2019 somewhat,\u00a0having Apple\u2019s latest and greatest chipset may be a bigger deal than might think.<\/p>\n

Besides better overall performance, M5 would effectively be the most powerful standalone headset to date. It would allow XR developers to not only port previous controller-focused games to the headset, thanks to official support for\u00a0Sony\u2019s PSVR 2 Sense controller<\/a>, but also develop even more visually rich XR games and apps for the device.<\/p>\n

It also effectively aligns Vision Pro with Apple\u2019s core products for the first time. Apple\u2019s M5 is also reportedly coming to\u00a0iPad Pro, Mac mini, iMac, and MacBook Pro, which\u00a0would let developers build apps that perform consistently across its latest devices\u2014maybe even including things like access to desktop-class apps running natively on the headset, such as Final Cut Pro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Code shared by Apple and discovered by MacRumors\u00a0has seemingly confirmed that Vision Pro isn\u2019t getting a massive overhaul…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364986,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3162],"tags":[53,16,15,3243,3244],"class_list":{"0":"post-364985","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-technology","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom","11":"tag-virtual-reality","12":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115073219653975024","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
