- Apple has begun preparing components for the Vision Pro 2, expected to launch later in 2025.
- The new model will likely include improved display and performance but keep a similar design.
- This move seems to be Apple’s attempt to recover R&D costs and refine its XR tech, not reinvent it.
Apple's Vision Pro 2 Is Coming – Here's What to Expect
Let’s be honest—Apple’s Vision Pro hasn’t exactly taken the world by storm. While it certainly impressed early adopters and tech enthusiasts with its sci-fi-grade features and high-end polish, calling it a “commercial success” would be a stretch even in Tim Cook’s keynote dreams. And yet, despite the lukewarm reception and sky-high price tag, Apple is far from done with the world of mixed reality.
In fact, according to fresh reports, Apple has already kicked off preparations for Vision Pro 2, bringing it closer to the finish line of mass production. The company has allegedly begun coordinating with various suppliers to begin manufacturing components for the next-gen headset, which is expected to launch later this year.
What's Coming in Vision Pro 2?
While Apple hasn’t publicly confirmed the device, insiders claim that components like displays, enclosures, and circuit boards are already in production. It’s safe to assume the next model will pack some upgraded hardware—likely faster processing, better display quality, and possibly smoother motion tracking. But if you're hoping for a complete reinvention of the headset, you might want to temper those expectations.
All signs point to a refinement, not a revolution. The design will likely stay similar to the first-gen Vision Pro—meaning it’ll still be bulky, high-tech, and far too expensive for most of us. Don’t expect to casually stroll down the street with it on unless your idea of a good time is bumping into poles while streaming Ted Lasso in AR.
So Why Bother?
That’s the golden question. If the first Vision Pro struggled to find a mainstream audience, why double down?
The answer seems to be damage control and long-term vision. Apple reportedly shelved a more ambitious plan for a compact, more wearable AR headset—a move that signaled a shift in priorities. Instead of going full futuristic, the company is now looking to capitalize on the heavy investment it’s already made in the Vision Pro platform. Think of this sequel as Apple trying to get more value out of the tech they’ve already spent billions developing.
It’s a smart play, even if the excitement level isn’t quite at iPhone-tier hype. Vision Pro 2 could become the version that smooths out the rough edges, and maybe even lays the groundwork for future headsets that are lighter, more accessible, and finally walk-friendly.
The Reality of Mixed Reality
The mixed reality market is still a tough nut to crack. Meta, Sony, and others have thrown their hats into the ring with varying success, but no one’s found the perfect balance of tech, price, comfort, and utility yet. Apple clearly sees potential here—it just might take a few more iterations before it gets there.
For now, Vision Pro 2 represents Apple's stubborn optimism in action: “We’ve started this thing, so we’re finishing it.” Whether the sequel wins over new fans or remains a niche product for tech lovers with deep pockets, only time will tell.
