With Considerably Less Fanfare, Apple Releases a Second-Generation Vision Pro
The update boosts Vision Pro performance with the M5 chip's 50% faster AI features and introduces the Dual Knit Band for extended comfort, Apple said.
- Today, Apple announced the updated Vision Pro and opened pre-orders, with shipments starting October 22, 2025, and preorders in China mainland and Singapore beginning October 17.
- The M5 chip replaces the M2 inside the Apple Vision Pro, featuring a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 32GB of RAM, and upgraded processors.
- AI-Powered tasks like Persona setup and Spatial Scenes will run up to 50% faster on the 16-core Neural Engine, while displays render 10% more pixels at a 120Hz refresh rate and the GPU adds hardware-accelerated ray tracing, doubling third-party app performance.
- Pricing stays at $3,499, keeping the headset aimed at a niche audience and likely limiting appeal to early adopters and curious developers while observers note little change to device design and positioning.
- Competition is rising with Samsung's Project Moohan scheduled to debut on October 21, 2025, and select Los Angeles Lakers games will broadcast live in Apple Immersive by 2026.
