Overview

• Apple backend code newly surfaced by MacRumors references a previously unannounced “Dual Knit Band” not offered with current Vision Pro models.
• A text description indicates an upper strap across the top of the head and a second band behind the head, blending Solo Knit comfort with two‑strap support.
• Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who reported a new strap in July, corroborated the code finding and said the redesign targets longer wear comfort.
• FCC filings published earlier this week identified an Apple head-mounted device labeled A3416 with imagery confirming it as a Vision Pro, signaling an updated unit in the works.
• Reporting points to a Vision Pro refresh expected before the end of 2025 with a faster M5 chip, though Apple has not confirmed the strap, design details, pricing changes, or launch timing.
