On October 15th， a significant announcement was made by Apple regarding their latest offering: the 2025 Vision Pro headset. This new iteration will be available in three storage configurations – 256GB， 512GB， and 1TB – with a starting price of 29，999 yuan. Pre-orders are scheduled to open at 9 AM on October 17th， with the official release set for October 22nd.
The 2025 Vision Pro features a redesigned dual-loop woven head strap for enhanced comfort and fit. At its core， it debuts Apple’s M5 chip， boasting a 10-core CPU (comprising 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores)， a 10-core GPU， a 16-core Neural Engine， and hardware-accelerated ray tracing technology. This powerful combination delivers a memory bandwidth of 153GB/s， promising substantial performance gains across various applications.
Under the guidance of the M5 chip， the Micro OLED display’s pixel rendering sees an impressive improvement of approximately 10%， resulting in sharper visuals and more defined text. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz， significantly reducing motion blur for a smoother， more immersive viewing experience. This enhancement is particularly crucial for VR/AR environments where fluid motion is key to user comfort and realism.
The M5 chip’s 16-core Neural Engine is designed to accelerate AI functionalities by up to 50%. This translates to a doubled processing speed for third-party app AI tasks compared to previous generations. This significant leap in AI processing power suggests a future where on-device AI can handle more complex computations， leading to richer and more responsive user interactions， and potentially new types of applications that were previously unfeasible.
In terms of battery life， the 2025 Vision Pro offers an extended usage time of up to 2.5 hours for general use and 3 hours for video playback. While still a limiting factor for many extended VR sessions， this improvement indicates Apple’s ongoing efforts to balance power and efficiency in its advanced wearable technology.
The 2025 Vision Pro is equipped with dual Micro OLED displays， each boasting an astounding 23 million pixels and supporting 92% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Complementing the visual prowess is a stereoscopic 3D main camera system， capable of capturing spatial photos and videos. This feature opens up new avenues for content creation and consumption， allowing users to record and relive moments in a more immersive and lifelike manner， further pushing the boundaries of mixed reality experiences.
