The Vision Pro, Apple's first attempt at a VR/AR spatial computer, is getting an upgrade. Alongside new M5-equipped Macs, the Vision Pro is also getting the new chip.

The update was just announced by Apple, as recent reports had indicated that Apple is pivoting away from Vision-type VR headsets to smart glasses in the future.

The Vision Pro's price is still the same ($3500), and most of the other headset's features look identical. But the new dual knit strap looks like a more comfortable fit this time, even though there are other straps for Vision Pro that have a similar fit.

I reviewed the Vision Pro in 2024. It's an impressive first effort at a new kind of computing, but a flawed and expensive one. The last Vision Pro had an M2 processor onboard, making the M5 boost a significant leap in power.

This is a developing story...
