Apple is developing two new headsets: a lighter and cheaper Vision Pro 2, moving beyond just a chip upgrade, and a Mac-tethered headset with VR-style display
Apple CEO Tim Cook is reportedly prioritizing AR glasses development above all other products, driven by competition with Meta
A Vision Pro refresh with an M5 chip could begin mass production in late 2025, potentially offering significant performance improvements
The Mac-tethered headset aims to deliver ultra-low-latency virtual displays while being more affordable and lighter than standalone models
Apple's AR glasses development faces significant engineering challenges but remains a strategic priority despite previous postponements
