Apple Vision Pro Refresh Tipped With ‘Dual Knit Band’ and M5 Chip for Late 2025

Backend code points to a two-strap knit design intended to improve comfort.

Overview

  • MacRumors found new Apple backend references to a “Dual Knit Band,” a strap not currently sold for Vision Pro.
  • A code description indicates one band would run over the top of the head and another would sit behind the head for added support.
  • Reporting now expects the next Vision Pro update before the end of 2025 with a faster M5 chip and few other changes.
  • An FCC filing this week for model A3416 referenced an Apple head-mounted device, providing regulatory evidence of an updated unit.
  • The strap change tracks with user feedback on weight and fit, with some owners favoring two knit bands and Mark Gurman previously signaling a comfort-focused redesign.
