"This means Apple's only new head-mounted display device in 2025 will be the Vision Pro with an upgraded M5 processor," wrote Kuo. Apple's current (and only) Vision Pro headset costs $3,499 and, by all accounts, isn't selling too well. So why delay a cheaper variant?

Apple plans to release an updated Vision Pro headset with its as-yet-unannounced M5 chip in 2025, according to Apple supply chain analyst

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'.

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.

Quick Summary Apple is reportedly planning an M5 upgrade for the Vision Pro headset, most likely in 2025. However, the much-rumoured cheaper consumer model is said to have been delayed "beyond 2027".

A more affordable version of Apple's pricey Vision Pro mixed reality spatial computer may not arrive for at least another 2-3 years.
