Improvements in weight and price

A real success was the first generation of the Apple Vision Pro. But even if Apple set the development of AR glasses in February 2025, the Tech Group does not give up the concept. After all, the company should currently work in full swing on a successor. The current vision Pro weighs about 650 grams, with the 353 gram battery being worn separately.

For comparison: the Meta Quest 3 (€ 894.91 ), including the battery, only weighs 513 grams. Apple plans to reduce the weight of the Vision Pro 2 to increase comfort. But you don’t just want to reduce weight. Apple also wants to make the gadget more accessible at the price. The company demands just under 4,000 euros for the current vision Pro.

Introduction of a new M5 chip and AI functions

A central upgrade of the Vision Pro 2 will be the use of the new M5 chip. This should not only increase performance, but also enable the integration of AI functions. A new user interface that combines eye control, gestures and Apple Intelligence is planned. In addition, a text-to-video AI model could generate virtual environments in real time. ​

Development of a second headset as Mac accessories

In parallel to the Vision Pro 2, Apple is probably working on a second headset model to serve as Mac accessories. This device does not use its own arm chip and battery and is instead connected to a Mac by cable. This could offer it cheaper and benefit from the higher performance of the Mac. Experts see experts, among other things, as a mobile monitor for the Mac or in industrial applications such as flight simulators. So we could expect a gadget here as the one recently tested by us Asus Airvision M1 (Test | € 839.94).

Conclusion

The Apple Vision Pro 2 promises significant improvements in terms of weight, price and functionality. With the new M5 chip and the integration of AI functions, you could significantly increase the user experience. The introduction of a second, cheaper headset as Mac accessories shows Apple’s efforts to use different market segments. An exact date of publication has not yet been determined.
