It is not expected to be included in the refresh of the M5 chip this year, but Mark Gurman reports that Apple is considering introducing cellular connectivity functionality in the Apple Vision Pro.

The company discussed introducing cellular connectivity in headsets, and future models of Vision Pro as well. At some point, this technology could be used in lightweight augmented reality goggles, but such devices may not become a reality for several years.

Apple is reportedly prototyping two versions of the 5G modem. The first-generation model is scheduled for release with the iPhone SE 4, iPhone 17 Air, and low-priced iPads starting next year, with a focus on cost and efficiency. The high-performance model scheduled for release in 2026 will support fast 5G connectivity for the iPhone 18 Pro and Mac.It is unclear what type of modem will be included in the Apple Vision Pro. The Bloomberg report does not provide specific information. However, since the Apple Vision Pro requires a small battery to power the entire system, it must be highly energy-efficient. Therefore, it is thought that Apple may use the first-generation low-end modem in the Vision Pro. However, time will prove.
