Vision Pro 2 with AI and M5 Chip: Apple's Right Move for the Future of Spatial Computing

Apple's Vision Pro 2 is reportedly coming by the end of next year, packing an M5 chip and built for AI 'from the ground up'. The current Vision Pro has not set the world on fire or contributed meaningfully to Apple’s bottom line. It’s too expensive and too heavy. But it’s real, in users’ hands, developers are building apps for it, and technologies like visionOS, immersive video, and spatial photos are growing and expanding. Eventually, Apple wants its Vision products to be a huge hit. The next big thing requires (at minimum) a Vision product that is not as heavy, more versatile, less expensive. That’s why reports that Apple’s priority is not Vision Pro 2, but rather a cheaper Vision device, make a lot of sense. But while Apple toils away on the don’t-call-me-Pro version of its Vision line, it needs to keep Vision Pro on the cutting edge. The Vision Pro 2 reportedly include an M5 chip and have a heavy Apple Intelligence focus.
