Apple Vision Pro hits stores: What's new in the headset
Apple just launched the Vision Pro headset with the upgraded M5 chip and a comfier band, hitting stores on October 22, 2025.
What's different? This time, Apple's assembling it in Vietnam, not China—a big move for the company's manufacturing game.
Apple is shifting production to Vietnam
Apple's shifting some production out of China to mix up its supply chain.
While most iPhones still come from China, lower-volume products like Vision Pro are now getting made in Vietnam.
It's part of Apple's strategy to spread out where its gadgets are built.
Why this matters for Apple
Apple's facing pressure—both business and political—to not put all its eggs in one basket. Making Vision Pro in Vietnam shows they're serious about diversifying.
Still, some parts, like the Dual Knit band, might come from China, reminding us how global tech manufacturing really is.
