Apple plans to release an updated Vision Pro headset with its as-yet-unannounced M5 chip in 2025, according to Apple supply chain analyst

"This means Apple's only new head-mounted display device in 2025 will be the Vision Pro with an upgraded M5 processor," wrote Kuo. Apple's current (and only) Vision Pro headset costs $3,499 and, by all accounts, isn't selling too well. So why delay a cheaper variant?

A more affordable version of Apple's pricey Vision Pro mixed reality spatial computer may not arrive for at least another 2-3 years.

An upgraded Vision Pro headset is rumored for release in 2025, but will it address the headset's biggest flaw?

That’s according to respected industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who posted on X that there will be a new, M5-powered Vision Pro launching in 2025. However, it's going to be the only head-mounted device Apple will release in the near future – Kuo says that the cheaper model has been "delayed beyond 2027".

The Apple Vision Pro hasn’t exactly been a roaring success for Apple, but it sounds like the company is still moving forward with a successor. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple could launch the Apple Vision Pro 2 as early as next year — powered by the still-unannounced M5 chip.

The headset will likely be priced between $1,000 and $1,500 competing with both the Apple Vision Pro and the Meta Quest 3.
