Vision Pro With M5 Chip Still Has 16GB of RAM, Ships With New Charger

[MacRumors]

Apple's website does not currently list the amount of unified memory included in the Vision Pro with the M5 chip, but MacRumors has confirmed that the latest version of the headset is equipped with the same 16GB of RAM as the previous model.

The M5 chip supports up to 32GB of unified memory in the new 14-inch MacBook Pro, but Apple has opted to keep the new Vision Pro at 16GB of RAM.

We also wanted to highlight that the Vision Pro now ships with Apple's newer 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max in the U.S., Canada, and select other countries. The previous model shipped with Apple's 30W USB-C Power Adapter, which was discontinued in countries where the 40W-to-60W charger was released.

However, the new Vision Pro still ships with Apple's international 30W USB-C Power Adapter variants in some countries, such as the U.K. and Australia.

As we previously reported, other key Vision Pro changes beyond the M5 chip include a more comfortable Dual Knit Band in the box, along with 120Hz support for reduced motion blur and a smoother experience while using the Mac Virtual Display feature.

The updated Vision Pro can be pre-ordered now, and it launches on Wednesday, October 22.

Cool I was going to buy the charger, now I know it will come with my AVP

 

[Rafagon]

Well they -are- providing a charger so I see no reason we can complain about the RAM remaining the same as the model from... what was it, three years ago?

😂🤣

 

[michael666]

Does it come with a charger in the EU?

 

[iMac The Knife]

I'm honestly surprised they are including the charger anymore.

 

[germanbeer007]

"16GB ought to be enough for anybody!"

 

[jeffbbs]

I am projecting the new vision pro sales will be around 10% of the previous generation. let me know if I am accurate later.

 

[Shalev Lazarof]

Tried one at the apple store, as i was saying on other threads, imo it's still a development product aimed for developers, and eventually, it should be focused about enhancing iPhone apps and allow new experiences, that's the killer feature (of any wearable to be honest, they should all serve the iPhone) not be it's own platform, with all its apps, updates etc, it's a hassle, confusing and people don't want more devices, they want less... the focus should be about enhancing what's already familiar.

Have you not considered that Apple's RAM management is so advanced that 16GB is enough?

Oh how I miss all the fun debates about Apple Magic RAM

 

[Logamaniac]

Yes!
The Apple Magic RAM argument is back!

I kinda missed it actually.

Isn’t the point of the unified memory that the ram isn’t really as important as a solo artist?

Has the ram been a point of contention in the first avp that’s somehow limited its capability?

 

[bmark]

Apple could have put 32GB of RAM in the AVP but why bother for the 10 people who will purchase it!

A solo artist?
I'm not following. Please elaborate

Wouldn't be great not to have a RAM debate on every fn product that gets released.

Whatever RAM Apple provides, it will never be enough for some. It's simply an entry into an argument and opportunity for some faux outrage. I've yet to see someone articulate what the proper amount should be, backed up with analysis and facts.

Wouldn't be great not to have a RAM debate on every fn product that gets released.

If they'd stop under speccing and having it become an issue 2-3 OS versions into a products life, the discussion would largely disappear.

It's the old "don't shoot the messenger" thing here.

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

Charger now has minimum spend.

 

[ProbablyDylan]

Is RAM a problem on AVP? Are there that many apps that are memory-intensive for it?

need vs want. Does it need more or do you just want more?

My brain read this like so ... seems about right 😂

 

[bmark]

I doubt it because the apps on the AVP are pretty pathetic!

 

[turbineseaplane]

Longevity is where more RAM is great to have, on all devices.

So I guess that falls under "want more", to answer your question.

That help?

 

[Innovati0n]

they may as well have not included the charger, they have customers standing by to defend that decision

 

[bmark]

That cut the massive margin to just 55.99%! Unacceptable to include a charger that all Apple users have already.

 

[beerglass007]

Charger included nice

I heard the next Vision Pro in 2027 isn't going to come in the box
