Apple is planning to release the first refresh of the Vision Pro headset, according to reporting by Bloomberg<\/a>. Industry analyst Mark Gurman suggests that the updated gadget could come as early as this year.<\/p>\n

The reporting indicates that the new headset will include a faster processor and components that are better suited for running AI tools. It will also reportedly feature a new strap that’s easier to wear for long periods of time. The increased specs are a no-brainer because the primary processor in the original Vision Pro is the M2 chip and Apple recently released the M4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The upgraded strap is a welcome change for most users. This thing was advertised as a replacement for desktop computing and long-term comfort has always been a sticking point here<\/a>. Eight hours is a long time to sit with your head being weighed down like an anvil.<\/p>\n

To that end, Gurman says that Apple is working on another redesigned model that significantly reduces the weight of the headset. This one is rumored to come out in 2027.<\/p>\n

Despite the welcome hardware changes, there’s still the high-priced elephant in the room. The Apple Vision Pro has struggled to entice consumers<\/a> because it costs $3,500<\/a>. It really doesn’t matter how beefed up the new version is if that sticker price remains so exorbitant. If Apple doesn’t figure out a way to sell this headset for much cheaper, it will remain a niche device<\/a>. It’s long been speculated that Apple is prepping a more budget-friendly headset<\/a>, likely priced in the $1,500 to $2,000 range.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

We do know for certain that Apple is prepping a new operating system for the device, called visionOS 26<\/a>. This will include virtual widgets and offer the ability for eye-scrolling. The OS is coming later this year, so maybe it will accompany the rumored hardware refresh. Reports also suggest that Apple is working on a tethered headset for enterprise applications and smart glasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is planning to release the first refresh of the Vision Pro headset, according to reporting by Bloomberg.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":52167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[239,2294,50,158,67,132,68,729,24447,38959,730],"class_list":{"0":"post-52166","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-gear","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us","15":"tag-virtual-reality","16":"tag-vision-pro","17":"tag-vision-pro-2","18":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114824939694867417","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
