Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Skip the Vision Pro (M5) unless you'll use it daily as a private movie screen and Mac display: it's $3,699 for 256GB at Apple (Oct 7, 2026) after a $200 increase on June 25, with 512GB at $3,899 and 1TB at $4,199. You get micro-OLED displays with 23 million pixels (Apple claim), refresh rates up to 120Hz, the M5 chip and the Dual Knit Band, which Tom's Guide found critical for comfort, and it had 55% battery left after 1.5 hours of Tom's Guide's use. Apple rates the tethered battery pack at 2.5 hours of general use and 3 hours of video, and the headset weighs 26.4 to 28.2 oz (750 to 800 g), heavier than the M2 model. Apple doesn't take the M2 Vision Pro as a trade-in, and the M2 model is no longer sold, so there's no cheaper way in from Apple.

Best for

Apple users who'll use it daily as a private movie theater and a large virtual Mac display.

Not for

VR gamers, budget buyers and anyone who wants sessions longer than about 2.5 hours.

Main strengthMicro-OLED displays with 23 million pixels, refreshing at up to 120Hz (Apple spec)

Main weaknessApple raised its price in June 2026; 256GB and 1TB versions

Reasons to buy

Micro-OLED displays with 23 million pixels, refreshing at up to 120Hz (Apple spec)

M5 chip with 16GB of memory and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage

Rated 2.5 hours of general use and 3 hours of video, up from 2 and 2.5 on the M2 model

Dual Knit Band in the box spreads the weight for longer sessions

Reasons to avoid

Apple raised its price in June 2026; 256GB and 1TB versions

750 to 800 g on your face, plus a 353 g battery pack on a cable (Apple spec)

No controllers in the box, and far fewer VR games than Meta's store

No cheaper way in: the M2 model is discontinued

Faster and more comfortable, but the limited ecosystem still suits developers more than buyers.

Better than the original, especially with the new headband, but the app library is still thin.
