Apple Vision Pro: hardhat optional
The roll-out of Apple Intelligence in the fall is passing over the Apple Vision Pro — but a report on Sunday claims that it could arrive on the existing hardware as soon as 2025.
Apple Intelligence is arriving in test in the next few weeks. It will ship to for everybody with a compatible device in the fall, with iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and iOS 18.
The specs of the headset as it stands can support Apple Intelligence. After all, the headset has a M2 processor, and 16GB of RAM, which is more than what’s required on a Mac for the feature.
But, the report makes sense. Apple is positioning the Apple Vision Pro as a productivity device, and the Apple Intelligence features make sense for the platform.
What’s more questionable is the concept that it might tax Apple’s cloud computing infrastructure, which is alluded to and dismissed in the report. As compared to the number of Macs that can use the tech, and the volume of iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models that will be available when it may arrive, Apple Vision Pro quantities are a drop in the bucket.
