Overview

• MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris unearthed accidentally exposed Apple code that includes identifiers for a Vision Pro model powered by an M5 chip, lending weight to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s prediction and contradicting Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman on an M4 upgrade.
• The leaked assets indicate that the upcoming Vision Pro refresh will concentrate on a silicon boost without significant design changes, though it may introduce a more comfortable head strap.
• Within the same codebase, references to codenames J510/J511 suggest a next-generation iPad mini with an A19 Pro chip, while entries for J581/J582 point to a low-cost iPad running on an A18 processor.
• Analyst forecasts and Bloomberg supply-chain whispers place the Vision Pro 2 launch as early as late 2025, but Apple has not confirmed any timelines or finalized chip configurations.
• Apple’s pattern of accidental code disclosures continues to shape expectations for its device road map, though the unverified nature of these artifacts means details remain provisional.
