The Apple Vision Pro 2 is not announced, so none of its specifications are confirmed. What has been reported about it is below, followed by the Apple Vision Pro M5's figures for comparison.
Will it be lighter?Reported for the Apple Vision Pro 2, not confirmed: Explored, to take weight off the head.
Will it run a new assistant?Reported for the Apple Vision Pro 2, not confirmed: Layoffs reached security, audio, Siri and testing engineers, not just gaming.
For comparison, the current Apple Vision Pro M5
What does it cost?It costs $3699 to $4199. That is the current list price. It launched at $3499.
How long does the battery last?It runs 2.5 hours. It also lists 3 hours playing video.
Can I control it with my hands and eyes?Yes, with your hands and your eyes both. Look at a thing, pinch to select it. No controller needed.
Does it work with my phone?Its phone app is for iPhone only. There is no Android app.
How much storage does it have?It comes with 256GB to 1TB of storage. There are 3 sizes: 256GB, 512GB and 1TB.

Apple has a new Vision Pro in the works for late 2028
Apple hasn't given up on the headset. The next one is more than two years away, and whether it copies Meta's pocket puck is still being argued inside the company.

Does the Apple Vision Pro work with a PlayStation over HDMI?
2028 at the earliest, possibly 2029. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman wrote in his June 2026 newsletter that Apple needs to build something substantially lighter and cheaper before returning to headsets. Vision Products Group members have been reassigned to the smart glasses team. The category is, in Gurman's words, on ice.
Should I buy the Apple Vision Pro M5 now or wait for the next one?
Good to buy. No new model is close and the price hasn't changed in the 84 days we've checked it, so we'd buy now. No newer model is expected in the next 90 days. It is $3,699 at Apple, price checked Nov. 9, 2026. See the full answer on the Apple Vision Pro M5
What is the difference between Apple Vision Pro M2 and M5?
The M5 Vision Pro launched October 22, 2025 at $3,499, the same starting price as the outgoing M2 model. The M5 chip replaces the M2 chip, and reviewers found it renders about 10 percent more pixels for sharper visuals. Apple kept the same R1 chip for handling camera, sensor and microphone data. The Dual Knit Band is included in the box for comfort.
All questions
Top questions
Why is Apple Vision Pro 2 delayed?
Two unsolved problems: weight and cost. Fixing weight means a fundamentally different internal architecture, likely moving the main chip to an external puck, the same strategy other headset makers are taking. The current Vision Pro costs $3,699. Solving both problems together is a harder engineering problem than iterating on the current design.
Did Apple cancel Vision Pro?
No, but it has paused. Mark Gurman clarified that Apple is still working on a next-generation Vision Pro, but it won't launch before 2028-2029. The Vision Air cheaper model was cancelled. The headset team has been reassigned to smart glasses. Apple's spatial computing platform, visionOS, continues to receive updates.
What comes before Vision Pro 2?
Apple Glasses in late 2027. Former Vision Pro engineers are now working on smart glasses. Apple Glasses will be the mainstream spatial computing product: lighter, cheaper, always wearable. Vision Pro 2 in 2028-2029 serves a different, more specialized use case.

Remnants, from writer and director Ti West, is the first horror film built for Vision Pro's Apple Immersive format. It streams exclusively in the Apple TV app starting Friday, October 16.
Apple hasn't given up on the headset. The next one is more than two years away, and whether it copies Meta's pocket puck is still being argued inside the company.
If you own the original Vision Pro, you lose very little by not upgrading the hardware. Only Siri voice customization and the better Dictation need the M5.
Two features are held for the M5 headset, Siri voice customization and the better on-device dictation model. Everything else in the update, including the Siri AI beta, runs on the original.
De Novo authorization means the FDA had no existing device to measure this against, so the terms it set are the reference point for whatever headset software follows it into an operating room.
Lamborghini's Vision Pro app places four of its cars at true 1:1 scale in your own room, which is the showroom demo the headset has lacked since launch.
