A new report from Chinese website IT Home suggests that the second-generation Apple Vision Pro is entering mass production ahead of a potential release later in 2025.
Citing an unnamed source, the report claims that key components of the new Vision Pro, including panels, housings, and circuitry, are now in production. Some Apple suppliers are reportedly rushing to fulfill orders. This follows an October report by The Information, which revealed that Apple had cut production of the current Vision Pro model, planning to cease manufacturing it by the end of 2024. This implies that Apple has enough stock to meet demand until 2025.

While a major overhaul of the Vision Pro is reportedly delayed, Apple is said to be working on an incremental update. This updated model is expected to feature minor design tweaks and a chip upgrade, likely incorporating the M5 chip. Analysts, including Ming-Chi Kuo and Mark Gurman, have confirmed that the second-generation Vision Pro is in active development with limited changes, reusing many components from the first-generation model to manage excess inventory.
Gurman has speculated that the new device could launch between fall 2025 and spring 2026, which aligns with IT Home’s report. However, since IT Home is not known for consistently accurate Apple rumors, the news should be treated cautiously until more details emerge.
