Apple is preparing to launch an updated version of the Vision Pro AR/VR headset, featuring a faster M4 processor and redesigned strap for enhanced comfort.
The new Vision Pro 2 will have the M4 chip from the iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and iMac, addressing comfort complaints and including additional neural engine cores for AI tasks.
Apple is working on new strap designs to reduce neck strain and head pain, aiming to improve comfort without reducing the device's weight significantly.
Despite the upgrades, industry observers do not anticipate a significant increase in consumer adoption, as the price point is expected to remain high and fundamental issues won't be fully resolved until a 2027 redesign.
