Apple plans to release a feature-packed release of Visionos 3.0, report Bloomberg’s Vision Pro’s operating system says it will focus on this year’s World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) rather than the new XR hardware.
Despite its high prices and premium appeal, Apple has not slowed down the software update for its Vision Pro, which was launched in February 2024 for $3,500.
Recently, Cupertino Tech Giant has released numerous productivity features, including a long-standingly ultra-wide Mac Virtual Display of developer previews and a full suite of Apple Intelligence features.
Currently, Gurman reports that Apple is preparing to introduce Visionos 3.0 at WWDC. This usually takes place in June.
“All indications point to the company’s Vision Products Group shifting to other form factors,” Gurman argues. “However, Apple cannot lose Vision Pro. They’re investing too much and need to continue to cut Visionos updates on their devices (the third edition is said to be a rather feature-packed release).”
If it’s like VisionOS 2.0, which was announced at WWDC 2024 last June, there are no signs that VisionOS 3.0 may be included yet. Developers will be able to put into practice as soon as they are announced.
However, the information is still weak. One possible candidate for VisionOS 3.0 can address the lack of motion controllers in the headset. Gurman reported last month that Apple is currently working with Sony to employ Sense Controllers for the PSVR 2 as the officially supported motion controller for Vision Pro.
Regarding the obvious (or lack of) hardware at WWDC 2025, Gurman reflects previous claims made by Apple Supply Chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo late last year, reporting that follow-ups of multiple Vision Pros are currently being planned.
Gurman points out that Apple is planning a headset and cheaper version of the headset that includes the new M-Series chip (probably the M5). Contrary to Kuo’s report, which maintains an upgraded M5 version of the Gision Pro, Gurman claims that in 2025, follow-up headsets from Apple will not be displayed.
