The Apple Vision Pro has garnered widespread acclaim despite encountering some criticism, with anticipation now turning towards the potential launch of its successor in 2026. According to insights from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter, the next-generation Vision Pro may still be “at least 18 months away,” suggesting a potential release in the second half of 2026. Gurman’s observations highlight the evolving nature of the product and the usability challenges it presents for daily use.
While Gurman remains silent on rumors surrounding a pocket-friendly version of the Apple Vision Pro, speculation suggests it may feature an iPhone chipset and a downgraded display. However, details regarding whether the second-generation Vision Pro will offer an incremental or major upgrade over its predecessor remain unknown.
Feedback from early adopters of the Apple Vision Pro in the US reveals concerns about discomfort, motion sickness, and the hefty price tag, prompting some users to take advantage of Apple’s return policy. Dissatisfaction with the product’s impact on health, including headaches and eye strain, is widespread among users, although many acknowledge the impressive technology offered by Apple.
Despite these challenges, users express optimism about Apple’s future in the VR market and eagerly anticipate potential improvements in the Vision Pro 2. They urge Apple to address current shortcomings in comfort and functionality to enhance the overall user experience and justify the high price tag associated with the product.
