Vision Pro 2 With M5 Chip, Apple Intelligence Arriving in 2025; No Price Cuts: Kuo
Sep. 27, 2024Kuo says the prime highlight of the Vision Pro 2 would be the inclusion of Apple’s M5 chipset, which will make it a substantial upgrade over the firstVision Pro with M2 chip.Although we don’t have many details about the M5 processor, the jump from M2 to M5 is expected to take the computing power to a whole new level and offer the best ofApple Intelligence features.Of course, the announced M5 processor will surpass the already powerful M4 chipset, which is the latest in Apple’s Silicon lineup.
It’s worth knowing that despite powerful innards, the overall design and other hardware specifications are likely to remain the same. This could help Apple manage production costs. However, the Vision Pro 2 price is speculated to fall in line with the first-generation model, which has a $3,499 starting price. We’ve also heard rumors about Apple planning to come up with acheaper version of Vision Prowith a lower-resolution display, but there are no signs of the expected release date as of now.
Kuo mentioned that the price of the M5 Vision Pro may not change much, but Apple might deploy some clever strategy and create attractive use cases to reach mainstream adoption. This has become more than necessary after the lackluster sales of the first Vision Pro. He also emphasizes that Apple might integrate something like OpenAI’s Sora, which could dramatically elevate the Vision Pro experience. After all, the impact of text-to-video AI models would be more impressive on a head-mounted display device than on current mainstream consumer electronics.
