Vision Pro

The second generation Apple Vision Pro brings some much-needed enhancements. Here’s the full list.

Are you a Vision Pro early adopter looking to upgrade to the new M5 model? While trade-in is a common option for other Apple products, the company unfortunately doesn’t offer trade-in when buying its new Vision Pro.

Apple Vision Pro recently got a big visionOS 26 software update, and its first hardware revision is coming soon. But what may prove more critical to Vision Pro’s long-term success is another recent development: live sports are coming soon in Apple Immersive Video.

Update: This story has been updated with additional details from Charter.

This coming season, Apple Vision Pro users will be able to watch select Los Angeles Lakers games live in an immersive feed. Here are the details.

Apple is expected to either host an October event later this month, or unveil new products in multi-day consecutive launches. And now, a new report mentions two specific products as “imminent”—the M5 iPad Pro and Vision Pro 2—and highlights which features to expect.

We’ve for some time been expecting a cheaper and lighter version of Vision Pro, possibly branded as Vision Air. Potential launch dates have been variously reported as 2025, 2026, and 2027.

But a report yesterday suggested we may have even longer to wait for this as Apple shifts resources to accelerate work on an Apple Glasses product …

Apple Vision Pro launched in early 2024, and now rumors indicate Apple’s follow-up model is almost ready to ship. Here are three upgrades expected with the new Vision Pro 2.

A new supply chain report suggests that Apple could bring the same advanced display technology to two of its devices in 2027.

Previous reports have indicated that Apple is planning to adopt a new approach to making displays thinner and brighter in the upcoming Vision Air, and a new report today says the company could also use this tech to at least one iPhone in the same year …

Today Apple Vision Pro owners gained access to a new MotoGP documentary in Immersive Video and the latest episode of Wildlife. Alongside the releases, Apple has announced seven more Immersive debuts coming soon for Vision Pro.

Apple has announced that visionOS 26 will be available to Vision Pro users from Monday, September 15.

The latest version of the operating system will offer a raft of new features, with spatial widgets and far more realistic personas topping the list …

There have been a plethora of varying rumors for Apple’s next generation spatial computer. Is Apple prioritizing a cheaper model, or going all out with a second generation Pro model? We’ll summarize all of the Vision headset rumors here today.

Apple’s Vision Pro is a very nice piece of kit, but the $3,400 price means that even CEO Tim Cook has acknowledged it’s a niche product, and the 600g plus weight also means many find it uncomfortable to wear for longer than an hour.

Chinese brand Vivo has attempted to address both issues in a design which looks remarkably like a direct copy of Apple’s spatial computer …

It’s widely acknowledged that while Apple is happy for any Vision Pro sales it can get, the primary purpose of the existing headset is to let the company take a first step in the journey towards an Apple Glasses product.

But while a cheaper Apple Vision still seems to be a couple of years away, along with the company’s equivalent of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, we are now seeing the potential emergence of smart goggles as an interim device – with TikTok entering the fray …

A new M4 Vision Pro is reportedly launching later this year, and even though not a lot sounds like it’s changing, I’m cautiously hopeful that the most needed fix might be on the way.

Last month, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo indicated that a cheaper model of Apple Vision Pro wasn’t due until late 2027. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now corroborated that timeline in a new report that says the device, codenamed N100, will be both “lighter and cheaper”.

However, the device’s design has not yet been finalized. Work on the project is apparently expected to be finished in 2026, with a ramp up to a public launch in 2027.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports today that Apple is nearing a release of the first update to the Apple Vision Pro hardware. The new model will feature an M4 chip, offering a significant performance upgrade compared to the M2 chip found in the original Vision Pro.

Perhaps more importantly, the new Vision Pro will apparently include a redesigned strap. This will make the headset more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time.

Apple has accused a former senior Vision Pro engineer of stealing thousands of documents containing plans for unreleased features, and taking them to his new role working on glasses–based projects for Snap.

A lawsuit alleges that Di Liu claimed he was quitting his job for health reasons, hiding from Apple that his true plan was to join Snapchat as a developer in a “substantially similar” role…

As spotted by Sigmund Judge, Apple is continuing its marketing blitz for F1: The Movie, which lands at the box office on June 27 and will stream on Apple TV+ later in the year.

Apple is certainly going out of its way to push awareness of the film. We’ve already seen Apple release a special haptic trailer, kickoff WWDC with a F1 sketch, Tim Cook and Brad Pitt made a surprise appearance at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store at the weekend, among many other media interviews. And today, it has expanded the pool of Apple Immersive content with a new Hot Lap Immersive instalment, available now in the TV app on Apple Vision Pro.

Apple’s WWDC25 developer sessions are packed with interesting tidbits that didn’t get stage time on the keynote or the State of the Union presentation. One in particular, highlighted briefly during What’s new in SwiftUI, could offer the first real hint at where visionOS is heading next.
