Apple Might Scrap The Cheaper Vision Pro For Now, As Next Year's Upgrade Is Set to Feature the Same Design and Price But With A Boosted M5 Chip

Apple had hoped that the Apple Vision Pro would be as big a hit as the Apple Watch, but as of the time of writing this doesn't seem likely to happen. However, if Apple can offer a wide range of wearable products, such as smart glasses and inexpensive iPhone-connected head-mounted displays in addition to head-mounted displays, it seems that the company can turn the field into a $25 billion business.
Apple is considering entering the smart glasses field, and is gathering employees to help evaluate the smart glasses market. Apple has conducted research when developing products such as Apple Vision Pro, AirPods, and HomePod, and similar market research is beginning to be conducted for smart glasses. Apple is also investigating Snap and Meta smart glasses.
However, Mark Gurman, who is familiar with Apple-related leak information, points out that it will take at least five years to develop smart glasses that can provide an AR experience that meets Apple's quality requirements. Meta and Snap's smart glasses are still rough as products and 'not very mature,' so 'you'll have to wait a while until you see smart glasses that are worth buying,' Gurman said.
In addition, it has been reported that the next model of Apple Vision Pro will have a significant performance boost by upgrading the M2 chip to the M5 chip. The Apple Vision Pro is equipped with the M2 chip, but since the M3 and M4 chips appeared after the Apple Vision Pro was announced, the Apple Vision Pro felt a bit outdated. However, the next Apple Vision Pro will be released at almost the same time as the M5 is announced.
Bloomberg points out that the next Apple Vision Pro will likely look almost identical to the current Apple Vision Pro, reporting that 'Apple is working on a few ideas for the Apple Vision Pro, but at least one version of the second-generation Apple Vision Pro will be largely similar to the current design. The big changes will be under the hood, such as a processor upgrade.'
Bloomberg reports that the next Apple Vision Pro will be released between fall 2025 and spring 2026, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the Apple Vision Pro with the M5 will be released in 2025.
In addition, Apple has released an application called 'Mac Virtual Display' in the developer beta version 2.2 of visionOS, the OS for Apple Vision Pro. Mac Virtual Display is an application that allows you to deploy a virtual display of the Mac on Apple Vision Pro. Several media outlets, including Bloomberg, have reported that this Mac Virtual Display will be the first killer app for Apple Vision Pro.
