For at least five years, Apple has been researching how it can measure the health of an Apple Watch wearer non-invasively and conveniently, in research that could be applied to the Apple Vision Pro, too.

The only headset Apple intends to launch in 2025 will reportedly be an updated version of the Vision Pro featuring an enhanced M5 processor.

Apple's new Vision Pro in 2025 will get a next-gen M5 processor says analyst, while the cheaper Vision Pro has its production delayed until 'beyond 2027'.

Critics are, as they do, having a field day preannouncing Apple's purported plans to "cancel" or "discontinue" the first iteration of its Apple Vision Pro Spatial Computing platform.

That’s according to respected industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who posted on X that there will be a new, M5-powered Vision Pro launching in 2025. However, it's going to be the only head-mounted device Apple will release in the near future – Kuo says that the cheaper model has been "delayed beyond 2027".

The Apple Vision Pro hasn’t exactly been a roaring success for Apple, but it sounds like the company is still moving forward with a successor. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple could launch the Apple Vision Pro 2 as early as next year — powered by the still-unannounced M5 chip.

CEO Tim Cook recently said the $3,500 Vision Pros weren't a "mass market product." Analysts said scaling back production would be smart.

The headset will likely be priced between $1,000 and $1,500 competing with both the Apple Vision Pro and the Meta Quest 3.

The first beta of visionOS 2.2, Apple added wide and ultra-wide modes to Mac Virtual Display. This is the most important Vision Pro feature.
