As the January 19 pre-order date approaches, we’re learning more about the Apple Vision Pro space computing headset. While Apple has announced that it will have an M2 system on a chip, we now know one more detail about said chip.
According to Bloomberg , the M2 of the Vision Pro will have 8 CPU cores (4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores) and 10 GPU cores. This is the high-end version of the M2, found in the 15-inch MacBook Air and the $599 and $799 Mac mini. We already know it will likely have 16GB of RAM, so as Apple is promoting its Studio Display to accompany the Mac mini, the Vision Pro is a bit like having a Mac mini with a 100-foot screen placed on your head. (Yeah, yeah, I know, Studio Display and Vision Pro have different screen resolutions… I said type of.)
The Vision Pro has a starting price of $3,499, which includes 256GB of storage. In a follow-up post on X, Gurman says he hasn’t heard of , but he “does not exclude anything for the moment”. Reports indicate that Vision Pro SDKs came with 1TB of storage, but Apple only offers Vision Pro “starts” at $3,499.
Gurman also reports that buyers will have the option to pay via monthly Apple Card installments. Considering the high price, it seems to be a popular option with customers.
In his To light up In the newsletter distributed on Sunday, Gurman detailed the Vision Pro sales demo in Apple Stores, a session that includes a step-by-step tweak and walkthrough of Vision Pro and visionOS features. These sessions will begin on February 2 in the United States, when the Vision Pro debuts in Apple Stores. Learn more in our Apple Vision Pro superguide.
