Apple plans to release a new Vision Pro with the M5 chip in 2025

Recently, Apple analyst Guo Mingð «“¹ revealed that Apple plans to release an upgraded Vision Pro headset in 2025, which is expected to be equipped with the yet-to-be-announced M5 chip, while the current Vision Pro is equipped with the M2 released in 2022 The upgraded Vision Pro will feature a more advanced M5 chip, which is expected to significantly improve performance. However, this is not the only bright spot, a reporter revealed that Apple is also considering a chip upgrade for the Vision Pro, a device connected to the iPhone, similar to glasses. The device will be used as an accessory for watching movies, and will be closely connected to the iPhone to bring users a new experience.

Apple's initiative will have a profound impact on the field of science and technology, one is to promote the development of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology, M5 chip as Apple's own research and development of high-performance chips, compared with the previous generation of M2 chip, in computing speed, graphics processing power and energy efficiency management have significantly improved. This will make the new Vision Pro perform well in VR and AR applications, bringing users more realistic and smooth visual effects and interactive experiences. The release of the new version of Vision Pro will drive the development of related industrial chains, including chip manufacturing, display technology, sensor technology and other fields. With the improved performance of the new Vision Pro, its application scenarios will also be further expanded. For example, in the field of education, VR/AR technology can provide students with a more vivid and intuitive learning experience. In the medical field, VR/AR technology can be used in surgical simulation, rehabilitation training and other aspects to improve medical level and service quality. At the same time, the new Vision Pro, with its powerful performance and rich features, may be a shock to other AR/VR devices on the market. This will force competitors to invest more in research and development and improve product performance to cope with the competitive pressure brought by Apple. With the in-depth layout of giants such as Apple in the AR/VR field, some enterprises with weak technical strength and lack of competitive products may face the risk of being eliminated. This may lead to a reshuffle within the industry and affect the competitive landscape of the entire industry.

The second is the impact on Apple's own ecosystem, as the new Vision Pro will be part of the Apple ecosystem, seamlessly connected and working with other Apple devices. This will help improve the overall competitiveness of the Apple ecosystem and the user experience. The release of the new Vision Pro will further enrich Apple's product line, stimulate Apple's investment and enthusiasm in technological innovation, and promote the diversification of products. It helps Apple meet the needs of different consumers, maintain a leading position, lead the development direction of the technology industry, and enhance market share and brand influence. However, the release of the new Vision Pro will promote the development of AR/VR technology to a higher level, and enterprises need to increase research and development investment in order to remain competitive in order to cope with the increase in the technical threshold. This may increase the operating costs of enterprises and pose certain challenges for small and medium-sized enterprises. As the leader of the technology industry, Apple's product release often leads the technology development trend of the industry. The release of the new version of Vision Pro will accelerate the update speed of AR/VR technology, and enterprises need to keep up with this trend, otherwise they may be eliminated by the market.

Third, the impact on consumers, with the rapid development of AR/VR technology, more and more products will appear in the market for consumers to choose. This can confuse consumers when choosing products and make it difficult to make informed decisions. As a high-end product, the price of the new Vision Pro may be higher, and there are other more affordable products on the market. Consumers need to weigh in many aspects such as price, performance, and function, which increases the difficulty of choice.

To sum up, Apple's plan to release a new version of the Vision Pro in 2025 with the M5 chip, although it has many positive effects on the technology industry, it may also bring multiple negative effects. Therefore, while promoting the development of AR/VR technology, Apple also needs to pay attention to and solve these problems to ensure the sustainable development of the technology and the rights and interests of users are protected.
