Apple’s upcoming Vision Pro headset is expected to feature 16GB of unified memory and up to 1TB of storage as discovered in Xcode 15.2 files (via MacRumors).
The latest version of Apple’s development tool corroborates earlier reports by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman about the Vision Pro’s RAM capacity. The Vision Pro development kits distributed by Apple last year also featured 16GB of RAM.
Xcode 15.2’s inclusion of support for visionOS apps also signifies Apple’s readiness to accept such apps via App Store Connect.
In a recent press release, Apple reaffirmed that the Vision Pro will run on the M2 chip for robust performance. It will also integrate the new R1 chip, managing input from multiple cameras, sensors, and microphones to enhance the user experience.
Apple stated that the Vision Pro will begin at $3,499 in the U.S. with 256GB of storage, hinting at the availability of higher storage variants. Reports from last year suggested that some developer kits included a spacious 1TB storage option.
While Apple has yet to divulge complete technical specifications, the Vision Pro is set for pre-orders in the U.S. starting January 19 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.
The headset will officially hit the shelves in the U.S. on February 2. Apple is planning for the Vision Pro’s release in other countries, including Canada, later this year.

Can we all stop making useless jokes and actually explore things of substance?
Is 16gb the maximum ram? I know M2 can go up to 24gb. Will Apple do what they do with iPads where the 1tb and 2tb versions get the maximum ram. THIS IS CRITICAL for those of us who plan to pre-order.
Is the 256gb going to be a single NAND Flash Chip (is there any apple product where the 256gb version isn’t a single NAND Flash Chip. This will matter a lot for the device longevity and swap capabilities. Please can anyone discuss this. Can we pretty much be sure of the 512gb and up only being the 2 NAND Flash Chip versions of the product?
Please let’s explore the above questions so that we can make educated purchases on the 19th of January. Someone knowledable about supply chain and components – please speak up.
