Next Generation Vision Pro to Debut 2025 With M5 Chip, Cheaper Headset Delayed [Kuo]

Apple is planning to debut a next generation Vision Pro headset in 2025 featuring an M5 chip, according to new report from TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

In a post on X this morning, Kuo also claimed that production of Apple's cheaper headset has been delayed...

As I understand it, production of the cheaper Vision Pro has been delayed beyond 2027 for a while now. This means Apple's only new head-mounted display device in 2025 will be the Vision Pro with an upgraded M5 processor.


Kuo believes that Apple may have delayed the cheaper Vision headset until it can offer more use cases for the device.

I think what really drove Apple to delay the cheaper Vision Pro is that simply reducing the price wouldn't help create successful use cases. It's similar to the HomePod situation—even after launching the cheaper HomePod mini, Apple's smart speakers failed to become mainstream products.

Notably, Kuo's timeline now differs from the one predicted by Mark Gurman. In a report last month, Gurman claimed that Apple was working on at least four new Vision devices, with a low-end Vision headset set to arrive as early as next year, followed by a new Vision Pro headset in 2026. The low-end model was said to cost around $2000 and would likely use a less powerful processor and cheaper materials. It may also lack EyeSight, a feature that displays the wearer's eyes on the front of the headset.
