Correction, October 18, 2026: Our earlier story cited unnamed leaked documents for a 40% weight reduction and a production schedule. We could not substantiate those claims and have removed them.
Apple's October 15, 2025 announcement documents a Vision Pro update with the M5 chip and a Dual Knit Band. The announcement provides the company's account of the hardware changes.
Use confirmed specifications
For a buying decision, compare the specifications of the model offered for sale with the one you already own or are considering. Check fit and comfort as well as the published technical details.
The M5 announcement gives readers a source they can inspect. Our earlier leak report should not be used as confirmation of a lighter Vision Pro 2 or its manufacturing schedule.
