Taiwan's this week reported that Apple's Vision Pro headset will be updated next year with Apple's R2 chip.The report said the chip — along with A20 chips for iPhones, and M6 chips for Macs — will be fabricated with TSMC's latest 2nm process.The current Apple Vision Pro is equipped with Apple's M2 chip, which serves as the device's main processor, along with an R1 chip for input processing.
Apple's description of the R1 chip: By moving to a 2nm process — the R1 chip is likely 3nm — the R2 chip would have even better performance for input processing.According to previous rumors, the Apple Vision Pro will be updated as soon as this year, with an M4 chip or M5 chip, a new head strap that improves comfort, and potentially a Space Black color option.This report is the first to mention an R2 chip for a future model, but it is unclear if the 2026 timeframe for that upgrade is accurate.
