Apple is set to release the second generation of its Vision Pro headset with upgraded micro-OLED displays, according to market research firm Omdia. The new headset will feature RGB OLEDoS display technology, a significant improvement over the WOLED with color filter used in the first-generation model.
RGB OLEDoS technology allows for the production of light and color directly from RGB sub-pixels on a single layer, eliminating the need for a color filter. This results in a much higher brightness compared to displays that rely on filtering white light through an RGB color layer.
The adoption of RGB OLEDoS displays is made possible by Samsung, who is currently the only supplier capable of providing this technology following its acquisition of eMagin. If Apple proceeds with the upgrade, Samsung is likely to replace Sony in Apple’s supply chain.
Additionally, noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested that the second-generation Vision Pro headset may not see any hardware updates until 2027. This casts doubt on earlier reports that a lower-cost headset would launch as early as 2025.
The current Vision Pro headset has been praised for its sleek design and immersive virtual reality experience. With the introduction of more advanced micro-OLED displays, users can expect even better image quality and improved efficiency.
Apple’s Vision Pro headset has gained popularity among gamers and virtual reality enthusiasts, offering a wide range of applications including gaming, entertainment, and professional use. The potential upgrade to RGB OLEDoS displays would be a significant step forward for Apple, ensuring a competitive edge in the rapidly growing virtual reality market.
While Apple has not officially confirmed the release date or specifications for the second-generation Vision Pro headset, the information provided by market research firm Omdia and renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that consumers can look forward to a highly advanced and innovative VR experience in the near future.
