Gurman: Apple Vision Pro 2 on Track for Release Between Fall 2025 and Spring 2026

In the latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg reported that the 2nd generation of Apple Vision Pro is expected to hit the market between fall of 2025 and spring of 2026. This mostly aligns with previous reports, although slightly less optimistic.

As a refresher, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported last week that Apple had seriously delayed its plans for a cheaper Apple Vision headset, and would instead be focusing on a second generation Apple Vision Pro to release next year.

Apple plans to upgrade the Vision Pro 2 from the M2 chip to the upcoming M5 chip, delivering a massive performance boost. Apple unveiled the first gen Vision Pro with the then-latest M2 chip, but the quick release of the M3 and M4 chips soon after made the $3,500 spatial computer feel a bit dated.

At least this time around, Apple Vision Pro should be getting M5 around the same time as the first Macs will get M5, so it shouldn’t feel as dated, hopefully.

Currently, Apple Vision Pro 2 is highly likely to look about the same as the current generation of Apple Vision Pro, according to Bloomberg:

Apple is working on several ideas for its Vision headset line, but at least one version of the second-generation Vision Pro — assuming it’s released — will look almost entirely like the current design. The big changes are internal, including a processor upgrade.

Apple recently released its new Wide and Ultra Wide display options for Mac Virtual Display in visionOS 2.2, which a lot of people, including myself, have found quite appealing. With Apple cancelling its plans for cheaper hardware, it’s quite clear that the company will need to focus on compelling software features – like this one – to keep Apple Vision Pro appealing in the market.
