Apple has officially revealed the Vision Pro 2, its second-generation spatial computing headset, featuring the M5 Ultra chip, a design that is 30% lighter than the original, and a significantly lower $2,499 price — down from the original's $3,499.
The Vision Pro 2 uses micro-OLED displays with 6K resolution per eye (up from 4K), offering a 120-degree field of view compared to the original's 100 degrees. The device is powered by the M5 Ultra chip with a 32-core GPU and 64GB of unified memory.
Information
The new Spatial Computing Platform includes hand gesture recognition 2.0 that works in low light and can detect micro-gestures like finger taps and pinches.
Apple has addressed the weight complaint by using a magnesium alloy frame and aluminum battery pack that can be worn on a belt clip. The headset now supports prescription lens inserts that attach magnetically.
“Vision Pro 2 is the device spatial computing needed to go mainstream. The combination of lighter design, better displays, and a $1,000 price cut makes it genuinely compelling.”
— Tim Cook, Apple CEO
