Apple is reportedly planning to launch the second-generation Vision Pro headset before spring 2026. Citing Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, 9to5Mac reported that the successor to Apple’s mixed-reality headset will likely be released between the fall of 2025 and spring 2026.
This follows a report from supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who stated that Apple has postponed plans for a more affordable Vision-line headset while continuing work on the next-generation Vision Pro.
Instead of a lower-cost Vision Pro model, Apple could be developing a new device in the Vision-line, designed to function as an accessory for iPhones. Unlike the standalone Apple Vision Pro, this model is expected to include only a display and a battery, with all data transferred to a paired iPhone for computation. This would reportedly reduce the cost and make the mixed-reality space more accessible. Gurman also mentioned that Apple is exploring “several ideas” for its Vision headset line.
Despite this, the second-generation Vision Pro headset is likely the only product in Apple’s Vision line with a set release schedule.
