Vision Pro 2 release date: Apple hasn't announced it, and the M5 Vision Pro is its newest headset

There's no Vision Pro 2 release date, because Apple hasn't announced a Vision Pro 2. As of Oct. 16, 2026, Apple's newest headset is Apple Vision Pro with the M5 chip, announced on Oct. 15, 2025, and in Apple Stores since Oct. 22, 2025, from $3,499. Apple kept the name and the price and changed the chip, the battery life and the band. The first Vision Pro was unveiled on June 5, 2023, and went on sale in the US on Feb. 2, 2024, so Apple has shipped two versions in under two years without ever calling one a sequel.
