Apple has a big 2025 up ahead of itself where we might see quite a few iPhones launching in the market and the big AI push.
The next Vision Pro model from Apple might not be seen before next year
Apple is said to be working on a successor to its first mixed reality headset, Vision Pro, which could be released in 2026, according to Bloomberg report. Initially unveiled at the 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Vision Pro was a specialised product aimed primarily at developers. Speculation surrounding its potential successor has been circulating in recent months, hinting at future advancements in mixed reality technology.
In addition to the alleged Apple Vision Pro 2, there are rumours of another wearable headset in the works that may be released as a less expensive alternative to the company’s current lineup.
Meanwhile, Gurman claims that no new Vision Pro hardware is on Apple’s 2025 roadmap in his piece. And we might have to wait till 2026 before the next headset product is unveiled by the company.
In some ways, this supports Gurman’s previously leaked timeframe, which suggested that the device may be released “between the fall of 2025 and the spring of 2026.” The journalist further claims that rather than the M2 SoC that drives the current Vision Pro model, it is most likely to be powered by Apple’s M5 chipset.
According to earlier reports, the majority of the changes would occur beneath the hood, and the current model’s design might be preserved. The “human-machine user interface,” which is thought to be one of the main obstacles facing head-mounted display systems, is predicted to be improved with its assistance.
In addition, the company’s “more urgent goal” is to build an affordable Vision Pro model, and it is now exploring its alternatives for doing so. Its launch date was not disclosed by journalist Gurman, but if earlier reports are to be accepted, it might have been postponed past 2027.
Possible internal component downgrades for the successor headset could include cheaper materials, subpar chips, internal XR screens, and the absence of EyeSight, which may impact its overall performance and features.
