Code leak hints at next-gen Apple Vision Pro being powered by an M5 chip

Apple’s next-gen Vision Pro headset may be powered by the M5 chip as opposed to the M4.

Per a code leak noted by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris, the forthcoming headset will apparently use the M5 processor. There had been some debate between leakers Ming-Chi Kuo and Mark Gurman over whether it would be M4 or M5, but the code leak settles it.

The Apple Vision Pro currently runs the M2 processor with the R1 chip used for spatial analysis. The chip bump could breathe life into Apple’s spatial platform in the short term as customers wait for a cheaper model. It’s unknown as to when future Apple Vision Pro models will arrive, with one rumor suggesting 2028.

Expect to hear about the next iteration of Apple Vision Pro by early 2026. At that point, it will have been two years since the original model launched.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
