Apple Vision Pro to Get M5 Upgrade With Apple Intelligence in 2025 [Kuo]

Apple is planning to update its Vision Pro headset with an M5 chip in 2025, according to a new report from TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The next generation headset will purportedly enter production in the second half of 2025.

Apple's powerful new M5 chip will allegedly enable the integration of Apple Intelligence with spatial computing.

The main selling point will be the integration of Apple Intelligence with spatial computing. The major hardware change will be the processor upgrade to the M5 (currently M2) to significantly improve computing power and ensure the best Apple Intelligence user experience. Other hardware specs and designs won't change much, which should help lower costs and price points.




Kuo believes that the combination of eye tracking, gesture control, and Apple Intelligence will provide a better user experience for spatial computing. Although Apple is unlikely to significantly change the price of the headset, the new model could become mainstream if it successfully offers compelling user experiences.

Cost and price reductions, weight and battery life improvements, etc., will eventually happen. Compared to existing mainstream products like the iPhone, the innovative user experience of integrating Apple Intelligence with Vision Pro will be more noticeable. In particular, if the M5 Vision Pro can integrate something like OpenAI's Sora, it may elevate the user experience of the head-mounted display device to unimaginable levels.

Finally, Kuo says he expects the supply chain for Vision Pro to mostly stay the same. Please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for Vision Pro updates!
