Apple has officially pulled the wraps off Vision Pro 2, addressing nearly every major criticism of the original headset while introducing capabilities that redefine what a spatial computing device can do.
The headline feature is weight. At just 380 grams — down from 600 grams in the original — Vision Pro 2 is comfortable enough for multi-hour sessions without the neck strain that plagued early adopters. Apple achieved this through a radical redesign of the battery pack and a new aluminum-titanium alloy frame.
M4 Ultra Inside
Powering the device is Apple's M4 Ultra chip, delivering four times the neural engine performance of its predecessor. This translates to dramatically improved hand and eye tracking, with sub-millisecond latency that makes the spatial interface feel as natural as touching a physical surface.
The micro-OLED displays have been upgraded to an astonishing 6K per eye resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR support rated at 5000 nits. In testing, the difference from the original's already impressive display is immediately apparent — text is crisp at any size, and mixed reality environments blend with the physical world almost imperceptibly.

Incredible analysis. The points about multimodal reasoning are spot on — this is exactly the kind of deep dive we need to understand these models properly.
