Like its predecessor, the M5 Vision Pro is currently only available in a limited number of countries. Apple just added two more to the roster as it opened pre-orders in Korea and Taiwan. Potential customers in both countries can also book Apple Store appointments from today for a personalized trial of the spatial computer . M5 Vision Pro Apple announced the updated model just over a month ago alongside a new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro, each with the same M5 chip. Additionally, the new model comes with a dual-knit band for a more comfortable fit. Upgraded to the M5 chip, Apple Vision Pro offers leapfrog performance, improved display rendering, faster AI-driven workflow, and longer battery life. The soft and cushioned dual knit band provides a more comfortable fit, and visionOS 26 provides an innovative spatial experience including widgets, new Persona, spatial scenes that embodidate amazing depth in photos and Safari, and the interactive environment ‘Juiter’. It went on sale in nine countries initially, with the company saying at the time that China and Singapore would follow. In our review, Chance Miller said that the dual-knit band was actually the most important change to the headset. Making it more comfortable to wear for longer periods as well as significantly easier to adjust. However, the M5 chip does also improve performance. It also increases battery life. In my five days with the Vision Pro (M5), I’ve had significantly more consistent performance across various workflows. In situations where the M2 Vision Pro would start to lag and stutter, the M5 Vision Pro keeps up. The fans still kick in, but overall performance is more sustainable and consistent, even as my windows began to pile up. The M5 chip is also how Apple is able to eke out more battery life from Vision Pro. It now touts up to two and a half hours of general use, and up to three hours of video playback. This is up from two hours of general use and two and a half hours of video playback. Pre-orders open in Korea and Taiwan Apple today announced that pre-orders for the M5 Vision Pro have opened in Korea and Taiwan, with delivery from Friday, November 28. This takes the total number of countries where Vision Pro is available to 13: Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, the UAE, UK, and US.
