Apple has just launched an upgraded version of its Apple Vision Pro, the impressive, if pricey, headset that it first released in 2024. You would be forgiven for thinking they were indistinguishable – they look identical, apart from a striking new headband. But inside, there’s a new processor, the M5, which Apple says is significantly faster and more capable than the M2 chip in the original Apple Vision Pro, and can be found on the new iPad Pro M5 and MacBook Pro M5.
Apple has quietly cut £300 off the price, too, which is great. But it’s still expensive, starting at £3,199. So, it’s not just wearing the headset for an extended period of time that might make your eyes water. Actually, that’s not really a side-effect of the Vision Pro, though many have pointed out that the weight of the original headset became uncomfortable after a while. What will they make of the fact that Apple’s specifications say the new model is heavier? Don’t worry, there’s a good reason for this.
