Despite the Atlas initiative, there's no indication that Apple's smart glasses will hit the market any time soon, so it's likely that the Vision Pro — or perhaps an upgraded version with a new chip — will remain the company's only headset for the next couple of years.

According to a Bloomberg report, a second-gen Vision Pro headset supercharged by the Apple M5 silicon could hit the shelves in late 2025 or early 2026.

Apple is likely to launch a refreshed Apple Vision Pro headset before a cheaper version of the product arrives, according to a new report.

The Apple Vision Pro 2 is expected to get Apple's M5 chip as compared to the M2 in the original Vision Pro. This will help for augmented reality (AR) features

The Apple Vision Pro hasn’t exactly been a roaring success for Apple, but it sounds like the company is still moving forward with a successor. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple could launch the Apple Vision Pro 2 as early as next year — powered by the still-unannounced M5 chip.

Bloomberg predicts that the Apple Vision Pro 2 may look very similar to its predecessor, but have a new and improved M5 processor under the hood.
