It starts at $3,499 in the US, with 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage. With M5, Apple says Vision Pro can run its displays at up to 120Hz and gets longer battery life and hardware-accelerated ray tracing in games.
visionOS 27, released on Sept. 14, 2026, brought Siri AI, in beta in English, to Vision Pro, along with Visual Intelligence: you can search, ask questions and take action just by looking at your surroundings and asking Siri. Vision Pro can now also turn panoramas into spatial scenes, adds a new Thórsmörk Environment with an Icelandic aurora, and connects to Wi-Fi up to 3x faster.
