It is predicted that the second-generation version of Apple’s MR (mixed reality) headset Vision Pro will be released in the second half of next year.
Ming-Chi Kuo of Taiwan’s TF International Securities, an Apple analyst, predicted in a report released on the 27th (local time) that “Vision Pro 2 is scheduled to enter mass production in the second half of next year.”
Vision Pro is an MR headset released by Apple in February. Most of the functions of a handheld smartphone have been transferred to a device worn on the head, making it possible to create 3D images. Apple calls this device a new ‘spatial computer’.
Ming-Chi Kuo, who predicts the product launch based on Apple’s supply chain analysis, explained, “The biggest feature of the Vision Pro 2 is that it is equipped with the M5 chipset.”
The M5 chipset is Apple’s next-generation chipset for MacBooks to be released next year, and is expected to have significantly better performance than the M2 currently installed in the Vision Pro. In the case of the M4 chipset released this year, the CPU (central processing unit) function is said to be 50% improved compared to the M2, and the GPU (graphics processing unit) performance is reported to be four times higher. By installing the M5, the Vision Pro 2 is expected to have significantly improved computing performance, including being equipped with Apple Intelligence, Apple’s AI (artificial intelligence) system.
However, analyst Mingchi Kuo predicted, “Unlike the internal specifications that will be upgraded, the overall design and other hardware will not change significantly.” He added, “This could help Apple manage production costs,” and observed that the price of the Vision Pro 2 will not be significantly different from the previous product.
However, analyst Mingchi Kuo predicted, “If text-video functions such as Sora, OpenAI’s video AI model, are installed, the Vision Pro experience could be dramatically improved.”
It is reported that only about 100,000 units of Vision Pro were delivered until July after its launch in February due to its high price of $3,499 (about 4.58 million won in Korean currency). This is significantly lower than the market forecast for sales of 300,000 to 400,000 units this year.
