• ProNotes: R2 chip for the next AVP

  Apple Vision Pro rumored to leverage cutting-edge 2nm process with new R2 chiphttps://appleinsider.com/articles/25/09/18/apple-vision-pro-rumored-to-leverage-cutting-edge-2nm-process-with-new-r2-chipApple is reportedly preparing a new R2 co-processor for a future Vision Pro model, built on TSMC’s 2nm process. This would be a first for Apple’s headset line, positioning Vision Pro as a showcase for Apple’s most advanced silicon. The R2 chip is expected to deliver significant improvements in latency, thermal efficiency, and overall performance.Why it mattersPerformance leap: The R2’s move to 2nm could allow smoother passthrough, faster sensor fusion, and better hand/eye tracking stability.Battery & heat: Improved performance-per-watt means cooler operation and extended battery life—key factors for headset comfort.Ecosystem signal: Apple investing its most advanced chip process in Vision Pro underscores long-term commitment to spatial computing.Key detailsCurrent baseline: Vision Pro pairs an M2 for apps with an R1 for real-time sensor data. The R1 delivers ~12ms photon-to-photon latency.Next-gen rumor: R2 would supersede R1, likely debuting around 2026, with a 2nm fabrication node.What’s new for users & developersFor users: Potentially longer wear sessions with less heat and jitter, moving Vision Pro beyond demo use into all-day practicality.For developers: More compute headroom for richer apps, higher fidelity passthrough, and expanded spatial workflows.For the ecosystem: If Vision Pro becomes the platform where Apple debuts its most advanced silicon, refresh cycles may accelerate.Industry contextApple’s silicon play: Historically, Apple has reserved new process nodes for iPhone or Mac chips. Shifting that to Vision Pro signals strategic priority.Timeline watch: Analysts expect R2 to arrive in 2026 hardware, though specifics on product naming (Vision Pro 2 vs. refresh) remain unclear.The R2 chip could unlock comfort and practicality for extended wear, making Vision Pro more than a short-session [email protected]/@VisionProFiles

• ProNotes: Jupiter Environment Lands in visionOS 26

  Marty gives a rundown of the new Jupiter environment including the options for interacting with the environment. MacRumors — visionOS 26 RC Features New Jupiter Environment for Vision Prohttps://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/10/visionos-26-new-jupiter-environment/Apple Day (repost of MacRumors piece) — visionOS 26 RC Features New Jupiter Environment for Vision Prohttps://appleday.org/visionos-26-new-jupiter-environment/MARS Magazine — Apple Gives Vision Pro Users a Big Update, But Not the One They Really Wantedhttps://www.marsmag.com/2025/09/09/apple-gives-vision-pro-users-a-big-update-but-not-the-one-they-really-wanted/What’s new- Jupiter replaces Morning Light as the latest Environment in visionOS 26 RC. You download it the first time you use it.- It’s interactive: use the new Explore Jupiter controls to choose Dawn, Sunrise, Afternoon, Sunset, Night and scrub time with a slider. You can also speed up Jupiter’s rotation to watch storms and light shift in real time.- Your vantage point is Amalthea, one of Jupiter’s inner moons, with accurate celestial motion around you.- Apple used NASA imagery for authenticity; the Great Red Spot is visible as you linger.- Public release of visionOS 26 is slated for Monday, September 15, 2025 (per current reporting).Why it matters- First Vision Pro Environment that invites active exploration (not just a static backdrop), hinting at richer, science-infused immersive scenes to come.- Ideal ambiance for space cinema sessions — think Apple TV+ sci-fi — with controllable lighting and planetary motion for vibe-matching.How to try it (quick steps)1. Update to visionOS 26 RC on Vision Pro.2. Open Control Center → Environments.3. Select Jupiter (first run will download assets).4. Tap Explore Jupiter to choose time-of-day presets or scrub time; try rotation speed-up to accentuate banding and storms.Pro tips for a great session- For movie night, set Sunset or Night to darken ambient light before pressing play.- After you’ve watched Jupiter for a bit at normal speed, look for the Great Red Spot creeping along the horizon — it’s subtle and satisfying.- Look opposite Jupiter occasionally; you’ll notice stars and other moons tracking realistically as Amalthea “turns.”Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher service Email: [email protected] Website: ThePodTalk.Net
