Although Apple has yet to launch the Vision Pro helmet, the company is already working on the second generation of the device.

Here's What We Know

The information was shared by the publication MacRumors. The device is codenamed Project Alaska and has the identifier N109. According to the leak, Project Alaska will have a similar appearance as the original model. However, Apple plans to simplify the materials of the body of the device, as well as move some elements of the gadget. For example, the speakers. In addition, the manufacturer will change the strap of the helmet. It will become more simple and by design will resemble the straps on bags or backpacks for laptops.

As for sensors, the device will come with a compass, light sensor, magnetometer and gyroscope. Connectivity options for the new product will include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5 and ultra-low latency audio. In addition, the helmet will feature two micro-OLED displays, a TrueDepth camera, four computer vision cameras, two RGB cameras, two infrared illuminators for low-light conditions and semi-automatic interpupillary distance adjustment.

When We Can Expect It

Expect a Vision Pro 2 release anytime soon. If everything goes according to plan, the company will start testing the final version of the device in early 2025. The helmet could go on sale in late 2025 or early 2026.
