Apple’s Vision Pro hasn’t made huge waves in the market, partly due to its steep price and „everything including the kitchen sink“ feature set. But Apple hasn’t given up on the platform yet; a prominent analyst with a strong record of accurate projections for Apple’s product lineup, Ming-Chi Kuo, published a roadmap that shows Apple beginning to roll out a new wave of mixed reality devices in 2027.
Kuo says Apple still „views head-mounted devices as the next major trend in consumer electronics.“ We already knew Apple CEO Tim Cook felt that way before the Vision Pro came out, but continued investment seems to indicate that Apple hasn’t been dissuaded by the relatively low sales of the Vision Pro as a niche product. However, Kuo notes that „Apple is not expected to launch any new head-mounted devices in 2026.“
Launches are planned for 2027 and 2028, though. You might expect a sort of Vision Pro 2, and Kuo believes that’s coming—but not until at least mid-2028. When it arrives, it’s expected to jump from Apple’s M2 system-on-a-chip to the M5, which should offer a significant performance leap. Based on his supply line sources, Kuo believes the new headset will feature a completely new design that is „significantly“ lighter than the first Vision Pro and a lower price point.
