According to Mark Gurmans Power On newsletter, Apple is planning no sort of Vision Pro refresh in 2025. He mentions that its possible that Apple could theoretically unveil a headset ahead of a release next year, but all signs are pointing to new Vision Pro hardware launching in 2026 instead.On the other hand, he reports that Apples more urgent goal is to create a cheaper headset, and Apple is ramping up development for that headset.Other analysts, such as Ming Chi-Kuo, had previously reported that Apple Vision Pro 2 would be on track to enter production in the second half of 2025. It was widely expected to implement the M5 chip and have support for Apple Intelligence, though there werent many other hardware changes rumored. Kuo also reported that Apples cheaper headset is delayed until at least 2027.Gurman, on the other hand, describes the cheaper headset as an urgent goal of Apples. It still wont be shipping in 2025, but hopefully it isnt too far away:The more urgent goal is to produce a lower-cost version of the headset, and Apple isramping up of development of such a product.
