The most expansive parts of AVP aren’t computing parts like apple silicon, storage among others. Those screens are expensive part. What use is a AVP with out good screens. I am primarily interested in AVP, so I could use those large 4K screens when traveling.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Vision Pro 2 With M5 Chip May Not Launch Until 2026

Steve Jobs would have killed it like ping.
Not fast enough. AVP work started under Steve. Apple has patents and designs from 2006-2007 for AVP.
Never even would have launched under Steve
We never even would have known anything about it, as he would have killed in the prototype lab
The question is would that work? The whole reason for the R1 is to process sensor input and provide a low-latency data feed to the M2 chip. Can they meet their latency requirements over a longer wire or WiFi? I don't know what speeds they need to satisfy their response metrics. But it would certainly add some delay and that would trigger some MacRumors readers to declare the response "unacceptable".

Ya know what’s funny? Even if they cut it down in price, with potential tariffs looming… it’ll *still* go up in price in the US.
IMO this would make a lot of sense as mac accessory. Probably one still needs to have R1 for camera processing, but might be able to delegate the rest to M4 Pro over Thunderbolt 5. This would allow leaving out battery, active cooling, display, ... Making the whole thing cheaper and lighter. Downside would be being tethered to a Mac and cutting laptop battery in half.
I would still opt for the full experience (keep my AVP) due to wireless experience being quite liberating.
I would suggest the 'market' is nearly all your current computing devices, and all their associated apps.
Not just yet, is more the issue.
"It was also revealed that the ARM Cortex-A715 core fabbed on the N2 process using a high-performance standard library was 16.4% faster at the same power, saved 37.2% of power at the same speed, or was ~10% faster and saved ~20% of power simultaneously at the same voltage (0.8 V) compared to the core fabbed on N3E using 3-2 fin library."
Wow. You got "angry" downvoted on this post for merely stating the obvious about Apple and gaming. Hard to figure.
Imaginary Steve Jobs is back! Funny how he always agrees with you.
It really doesn’t matter. The device not need that much performance power. It does everything it promises with no issues. Apps are a joke though and nobody really has a case for them. I really like my AVP, but it is simply a consumption device for watching movies for me. Does great at that though. I doubt I would upgrade until it dies.
Given that there are predicate Apple patents from 2006 he OK'd it for at least 5 years and didn't kill it.
Steve’s biggest advice to Tim Cook was, don’t try to be me. Steve flip flopped a lot. If Tim stuck to smaller iPhones like Steve wanted, Apple would have been a minor player in phone market. Apple was getting hammered by larger android phones and had to counter with bigger phones. Steve also was more realist, he said he would be happy with iPhone at 1% market share. AVP is niche, and he probably would have been ok with 1% market share for AVP. It’s a High priced low volume product, not sure why any one was expecting iPhone or iPad like sales. Apple can afford to continue selling 500 K units and keep making it better.
Thinner, faster, lighter, cheaper ... and still with no developers looking twice at it.
Nice to see they stockpiled parts from the first generation epic fail, so there can be limited changes to the second (and final) generation epic fail.
I don't think they removed anything with the iPad 2, they merely did the redesign, which was in every way better.
I had the first iPad and the iPad 2. The first one was really heavy. It weighed about as much as an Apple Vision Pro. I loved it, though, in that time when there wasn't an iPad 2 to compare it to. I got a LOT of use out of it, and passed it along to others when I replaced it with a newer model.
I'm up for a Vision Pro 2 that is redesigned and in every way better. Until then, I'll enjoy the Vision Pro that I have right now.
I also had both models. The iPad 2 was much lighter, much faster, and better to hold on to. A major upgrade IMHO. I expect something like this for Vision Pro 2, due to the long wait between models, and it being an entirely new product.
