For today you are Apple planned to start sales of new iPads Pro, MacBooků Pro a Vision Pro with the M5 chip. And while the first two products are easily available in our region, Vision Pro is still not officially sold in our country. And how miniAt least from the first reviews of its improved version, it seems like it's quite a shame. Vision Pro The M5 is becoming a slightly more interesting technological companion again.
"In situations where Vision Pro with M2 starting to run out of breath, M5 keeps the pace", said Chance Miller from 9to5MacJason Snell from Six Colors echoes the same sentiment, adding: “The M5 chip's acceleration is most noticeable when creating new Spatial People. Vision Pro but it was already fast with the M2, with most of the performance still going to maintaining the illusion of reality on OLED displays. "
According to Applu can do new Vision Pro The M5 chip can render 10% more pixels, and combined with the higher refresh rate, the image feels noticeably smoother. However, not all reviewers see the changes as significant. Scott Stein of CNET writes: "The differences aren't dramatic. The headset still has a narrower field of view, and while the eye and hand tracking works great, it's no better than before.. "

What reviewers appreciate most is, paradoxically, the new Dual Knit Band, which Apple included directly in the package and which is of course also compatible with the first generation Vision ProThe belt consists of two parts (one over the crown and the other around the back of the head) and thanks to tungsten inserts helps to better distribute the weight. LancTechRadar's Ulanoff enthusiastically described: "New belt foroneIt evenly distributes the weight across the entire head. Vision Pro Now I can wear it for two hours and after taking it off I don't feel like my face is slipping.." Mark Spoonauer of Tom's Guide sees it similarly: "After half an hour I felt less pressure around my eyes and no pulling on my neck. That's a clear improvement.” But Stein also draws attention to a minor paradox: "The headset is still heavy, and even a bit heavier than before. The new strap has added a few grams due to the weight on the back.. "
Another upgrade to the headset is better battery life, which Apple It claims up to 2,5 hours of use and 3 hours of video playback. Spoonauer adds his own experience: “After an hour and a half, I had 55% battery, which is pretty decent.”
In conclusion, the reviewers agree: Vision Pro (M5) is a bit more comfortable, snappier, and visually smoother, but it's not a major generational leap. Rather, it's a series of smart improvements that those who spend long hours with the headset will appreciate. And as The Verge adds, this model may well be the last of its kind. Apple It is reportedly already shifting its focus to lighter AR glasses, which are supposed to be its next big step.
