The Vision Pro spatial computer runs on Apple's M2 chip, but an upgrade to the M3 before launch doesn't seem out of the question.
As a Vision Pro enthusiast who keeps track of all of Apple's moves that might be related to the spatial computer, I can't help but wonder whether Apple will quietly upgrade the wearable device to the M3 System-on-Chip that's about to power several late 2023 Macs. I can see both the pros and cons of Apple giving the Vision Pro a last-minute upgrade. But maybe it's not a last-minute upgrade. Maybe it's what Apple wanted all along.
It might not be able to manufacture enough M3 units for its Macs, as it prioritizes A17 Pro production. With the Vision Pro expected to sell in low volumes, the effort of bringing the M3 to the spatial computer might not be warranted. What if Apple wanted the M3 inside the Vision Pro? Then there's the Vision Pro's mysterious release date. If it's imminent, Apple can't possibly change the manufacturing process to swap the M2 for the M3.
