When the flow of a conversation starts to direct us to Apple’s future plans, the main speaker is usually the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who now tells us that the popular company intends to start mass production next generation Vision Pro in the second half of 2025. Its key selling point will be its AI spatial computing technology enabled by the Apple M5 chip.
Apple’s current Vision Pro device is powered by the M2 chip, so the M5 will significantly improve performance. This, in turn, will enable better AI capabilities, which are crucial for spatial computing.
It’s clear that Apple wants to make the human-machine interface more intuitive and efficient by combining Apple Intelligence, eye tracking and gesture control. For this to happen the M5’s improved ability to handle AI-related tasks will certainly play an important role.
Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will be able to maintain a relatively similar price since it will largely use the same hardware and only upgrade the chip. However, the lighter design and larger battery are still up for debate.
If Apple can deliver compelling user scenarios, the next-gen Vision Pro could reach the mainstream. The planned AI capabilities will likely be superior to those offered by standard smartphones, for example, but are these enough to convince us? It will show the future…
