Apple will put its next-generation R2 chip based on TSMC’s 2nm process inside a future Apple Vision Pro, making the headset the showcase for its most advanced silicon.

The company is expanding its chip strategy from phones and laptops to headsets. The Apple Vision Pro, an expensive niche device, will get the new R2 chip built on TSMC’s 2nm process.
That move signals Apple’s intent to make mixed reality a proving ground for cutting-edge silicon. The same supply chain reports point to the iPhone 18 Pro and the MacBook M6 also adopting 2nm chips, but the Apple Vision Pro will be the boldest test.
