Event overview

Lighter, cheaper successor to the original Vision Pro, addressing the most-cited complaints (weight, price, content). Expected to ship with the M5 chip, an updated R-series sensor coprocessor, refreshed micro-OLED panels, and a redesigned light-seal for improved comfort. Likely to be positioned at a more accessible price tier alongside a continuation of the high-end Vision Pro line.

Weak-date handling

The page stays crawlable and useful, but confidence copy and schema posture are deliberately weaker than a confirmed event page.

What this countdown tracks

An estimated launch window for Apple's second-generation Vision Pro. The midpoint is April 15, 2027, with credible reporting placing the actual release somewhere between October 2026 and December 2027. Apple has not officially announced a Vision Pro 2 in any public communication — this page reflects current trade-press consensus, not a confirmed date, and updates as new signals land.

About this event

The original Vision Pro shipped February 2024 at $3,499, drawing critical praise for the visionOS interaction model but commercial reservations about weight, content library, and price. Bloomberg reporting through late 2025 indicated Apple wound down original-Vision Pro production faster than analysts expected — a strong signal that the successor is closer than the original 2027–2028 window suggested.

Mark Gurman's Power On reporting points to two parallel headset SKUs in development: a lighter, cheaper variant aimed at addressing the original's core complaints, and a continued high-end Vision Pro line with the M5 chip and refreshed micro-OLED panels. Internal Apple codename "N109" has been associated in trade reporting with the cheaper variant.

What to expect

The successor is expected to ship with the M5 chip, an updated R-series sensor coprocessor, refreshed micro-OLED displays, a redesigned light-seal for comfort, and a lighter battery pack. Whether Apple ships a single Vision Pro 2 or a two-SKU lineup (entry + Pro) is the open positioning question. visionOS 3 — likely unveiled at WWDC 2026 — will align developer tooling with the next-gen hardware.

Past releases

Vision Pro (Feb 2024) — Apple's first spatial-computing device, M2 + R1, $3,499.
visionOS 2 (Jun 2024) — expanded ecosystem APIs, mouse support, persistent volumes.
visionOS 3 (expected WWDC 2026) — developer-tooling alignment ahead of the next-gen hardware.
AirPods Max (Dec 2020) — Apple's last major over-ear hardware launch, useful as a pricing-tier reference.

How to follow

Apple announces new hardware at Apple Events and on apple.com/apple-events. Watch the @Apple X account, the Apple Newsroom, and the WWDC keynote in June for visionOS-3 hints. Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter at Bloomberg is the highest-credibility trade source; Ming-Chi Kuo's Medium and X posts cover supply-chain timing. r/VisionPro and r/Apple aggregate leaks within hours.

Vision Pro 2 sits in the same broader window as Apple Foldable iPhone, Apple WWDC 2027, and Apple September Event 2027. Apple WWDC 2026 is where visionOS 3 is most likely to land as the developer-tooling pre-cursor.

FAQ

When is Vision Pro 2 launching? Not officially announced. Reporting places the window between Oct 2026 and Dec 2027, with mid-2027 as the most-cited midpoint. Has Apple confirmed Vision Pro 2? No. As of April 2026, Apple has not made any public reference to a successor headset in product communications. Will it be cheaper? Reporting suggests Apple is preparing a lighter, more affordable variant alongside (or instead of) a high-end Vision Pro continuation. Pricing has not been disclosed. Why is the date "estimated"? Apple has not announced one. Mark Gurman's reporting and Ming-Chi Kuo's supply-chain notes are consistent on the form-factor evolution and roughly on the timing, but Apple has not committed to a launch date.
