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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
