Apple Vision Pro Set for Major AI Update Without New Hardware

Apple Vision Pro May Receive Major AI Update Without New Hardware Apple's mixed-reality headset, the Vision Pro, may soon receive its biggest update yet with the addition of Apple Intelligence (AI features), despite not being initially confirmed for the device. This potential software upgrade would bring enhanced AI capabilities to the existing hardware, which is powered by Apple’s second-generation M-series processor.

Current Availability and Rumors

Apple Intelligence currently supports iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, M-series iPad Pro and iPad Air, and M-series Macs. The Vision Pro, launched in the US a year ago and gradually rolled out to other markets, does not yet support these AI features.

Rumored Update

Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has reported that the existing Apple Vision Pro might receive an update to include Apple Intelligence. This would be a significant enhancement for the $3,500 headset, especially in light of recent reports suggesting delays for new Siri features with Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.4.

Anticipation and Future Outlook

If this rumor is true, it will be a welcome surprise for Vision Pro owners and could enhance the device’s appeal. The upcoming days are expected to bring more news from Apple, including a new product launch on Wednesday.
