According to documents related to the device in Xcode 15.2, Apple’s upcoming Vision Pro headset is equipped with 16GB of unified memory. Our findings in the latest version of Apple's app development tools confirm a June 2023 report from Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, which said Vision Pro will come with 16GB of memory, which is also the same memory capacity in the Vision Pro development kit Apple distributed last year.
Xcode 15.2 officially adds support for developing VisionOS applications, which Apple can now accept through AppStoreConnect.
In a press release this week, Apple reiterated that Vision Pro will use its M2 chip for "powerful standalone performance," as well as the new R1 chip to "process input from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones to ensure content feels like it's right in front of the user's eyes."
Apple's press release also confirmed that the Vision Pro will start at $3,499 in the United States with 256GB of storage, wording that seems to imply that higher storage options will also be available. It was reported last year that at least some VisionPro developer kits were equipped with 1TB of storage.
Apple has not released full technical specifications for the Vision Pro, which will be available for pre-order in the United States starting at 5 a.m. Pacific time on Friday, January 19. In a few weeks, the headset will be available in the U.S. on Friday, February 2. When it first announced Vision Pro, Apple said the headset would be available in more countries later this year.
