Earlier this year, I quoted sources that claimed that Apple “may have ceased production of its first-generation Vision Pro headset.”
But as is often true in the tech world, there is now a SECOND generation of the Vision Pro headset, featuring more power (via the M5 chip that Apple is introducing everywhere) and more comfort (via the new “Dual Knit Band”).
“M5 provides an even faster, smoother, and more responsive experience for Apple Vision Pro users, while introducing new opportunities for developers to create more advanced spatial and immersive experiences. Built using third-generation 3-nanometer technology, M5 on Vision Pro features an advanced 10-core CPU that delivers higher multithreaded performance, resulting in faster experiences throughout the system, including faster load times for apps and widgets and more responsive web browsing.”
“The Dual Knit Band delivers an even more comfortable fit for users. It features upper and lower straps that are 3D-knitted as a single piece to create a unique dual-rib structure that provides cushioning, breathability, and stretch. The lower strap features flexible fabric ribs embedded with tungsten inserts that provide a counterweight for additional comfort, balance, and stability. And the intuitive dual-function Fit Dial allows users to make fine-tuned adjustments to achieve their ideal fit. The new Dual Knit Band comes in small, medium, and large sizes; is available to purchase separately; and is compatible with the previous-generation Apple Vision Pro.”
For all the details of the new Apple Vision Pro, read the press release.
But it’s still pretty pricey, more niche than revolutionary event.
Oh, and “one more thing”…
I had to read the fine print in the press release, and this is what it says about Apple.
“Apple revolutionized personal technology with the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984. Today, Apple leads the world in innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Apple’s six software platforms — iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, and tvOS — provide seamless experiences across all Apple devices and empower people with breakthrough services including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, iCloud, and Apple TV. Apple’s more than 150,000 employees are dedicated to making the best products on earth and to leaving the world better than we found it.”
All right and fine, but Apple (then Apple Computer) existed before 1984. And while the Macintosh changed everything, including the non-Apple computer that I’m typing on today, there never would have been a Macintosh if it hadn’t been for the Apple II. Remember the Apple II, Tim? Woz does.
And another thing
