Apple Code Confirms Vision Pro With M5 Chip

by

Apple is working on a next-generation version of the Vision Pro with an M5 chip, according to code accidentally shared by Apple and discovered by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris.

Apple Vision Pro 2 Feature 1
Rumors of a Vision Pro 2 with an updated M-series chip have been circulating since last year, but there was some confusion over which chip the device would use. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the Vision Pro would have an M5 chip, but Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claimed that it would use the same M4 chip that's in the latest MacBook Air and iPad Pro models rather than the M5.

Based on Apple's code, it looks like the next-generation Vision Pro will use the M5 chip.

The refreshed Vision Pro isn't expected to feature any design changes or hardware updates aside from the new chip, but it could get a new strap that will make it more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time.

The Vision Pro 2 with M5 chip could launch as soon as late 2025.

The only bad thing I’ve ever heard about the actual experience of using the AVP is too much weight for all day use, I’ve never seen it described as “miserable to use”, in fact it’s usually just the opposite: the experience of using it blows people away… they just also usually come away without any idea of what they’d use it for yet. The experience of what it offers is fine, it just has no killer app.

And I’ve never heard it described as smelly, nasty, or dirty. Sounds like maybe you or someone you know with one just doesnt bathe regularly

And 10 people are really happy about this. Apple sure has missed the mark on understanding their users.
More like >200,000 people will be interested to see what the next gen AVP is about.

Bought mine about 2 months after released the USA. Spent 3 hours today on a DL flight using the very large curved virtual monitor ( not the largest one) while working with my MacBook Pro. Able go move photos and video from photos to Keynote while writing text in pages…. Love the AVP ….Happy to see the new model will just be a speed bump.

Apple's biggest miss was not the weight but separate battery. If Apple can integrate battery into the body, this will bring a much better user experience.
Tough one - integrating the battery would make it significantly heavier. I think I’d rather keep it external until we can get the weight down a lot

Not really. External battery is very practical. I tuck it in my shirt pocket
