Apple Vision Pro is [[Apple]]'s spatial computer — a headset that places [[visionOS]] apps as windows in the wearer's real room, controlled by eyes and hands alone. Launched in February 2024 at $3,499, it is the company's first new platform since the [[Apple Watch]] and its most technically extravagant product: 23 million pixels of micro-OLED, a dual-chip brain, and passthrough video fast enough to trust your morning coffee to.

Two processors share the work: an [[Apple M2|M-series]] chip runs visionOS and apps while the dedicated [[Apple R1]] fuses twelve cameras, five sensors, and six microphones into fresh images within twelve milliseconds — the real-time guarantee that makes wearing a computer on your face physically tolerable.

= History =

Unveiled at WWDC 2023 as "one more thing," Vision Pro shipped February 2, 2024 in the United States with the [[Apple M2]] and [[Apple R1|R1]], rolling out internationally through the year. Reviews split on one axis: the best headset display and passthrough ever shipped, against weight, price, and an app library still finding its purpose. Personas, 3D movies, panoramic Mac Virtual Display, and spatial video — shot on [[iPhone 15 Pro|iPhone]] — carried the early story.

The October 2025 refresh swapped in the [[Apple M5]], boosting rendering and enabling more of [[Apple Intelligence]] on-device, and replaced the loathed single strap with the Dual Knit Band. [[visionOS]] 26 added spatial widgets, more lifelike Personas, and PlayStation VR2 controller support — the platform maturing faster than the hardware slims.

Vision Pro is Apple playing the long game in public: a first-generation platform priced for developers and enthusiasts while the company miniaturizes toward eventual glasses. Its lasting contributions are already visible — the eye-and-pinch interaction model, spatial video across the ecosystem, and [[visionOS]] as the template for whatever comes next.
