Apple’s Updated Vision Pro Ships With M5, 120Hz Display and New Strap, Now Assembled in Vietnam

Apple rules out trade-ins for first‑generation units, underscoring a cautious, low‑volume approach to the headset.

Overview

  • The refreshed Vision Pro reached stores and customers on Wednesday with the Dual Knit Band included in the box.
  • Packaging now reads “Product of Vietnam,” reflecting Apple’s supply‑chain diversification, while the standalone Dual Knit Band is labeled made in China.
  • Apple confirmed the original Vision Pro is not eligible for its trade‑in program, removing an upgrade offset for early buyers.
  • Early reviews highlight smoother 120Hz visuals and steadier M5 performance with about 10% more pixels rendered, but characterize the update as incremental.
  • Apple lists longer battery life at up to 2.5 hours of general use and up to 3 hours of video playback per charge.
