To count as the Apple Vision Pro 2, a device must retain the original functions of the Apple Vision Pro and expand on them in such a way as to make clear that it is the successor, regardless of its name.
In order to be considered released, the product must be available for purchase by the general public in 2025.
Historically, Apple launches products about 1-3 weeks after they file documents for them with the FCC. So the Vision Pro 2 should come out mid-October now.

One of several documents the FCC shared today references an Apple-designed "Head Mounted Device" with a model number of A3416. An included image confirms the device is a Vision Pro.
According to rumors, Apple is working on a refreshed version of the Vision Pro that has a faster M5 chip. The headset isn't expected to feature design updates, with Apple simply updating the M2 chip to a newer, more capable M-series chip. The updated Vision Pro could launch before the end of the year, and it will likely continue to be priced at $3,499.
