It’s been almost two years since the original Apple Vision Pro launched. So I’m kind of shocked by how little new the Vision Pro M5 brings to the table — or more aptly, your face. The Vision Pro 2025 (still a gulp-inducing $3,499) packs a powerful M5 chip for improved performance and visuals, and it also enables longer battery life. Plus, Apple has partially addressed the comfort issue by including a comfier Dual Knit Band.
That’s it for the newness. The design is nearly identical to the original model, and you still need to schlep around a battery pack. High-profile apps like Netflix and YouTube are still missing. There’s no multi-modal AI to speak of either as Apple continues work on the next Siri.
