Apple conducted its WWDC25 keynote yesterday, during which it unveiled a fresh array of software updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS – all encompassed under the new version numbering of ’26’. A new set of OS releases is accompanied by a new version of Xcode.
In the initial beta of Xcode 26, the developer tool employed for creating apps for these updated operating systems, Apple appears to have inadvertently revealed an intriguing detail about Vision Pro – a potential new name.
In Xcode 26, the current iteration of Apple Vision Pro is now designated as “Apple Vision Pro 4K.” This designation only appears when utilizing a new simulator equipped with visionOS 26, while existing simulators for visionOS 2 do not display this new nomenclature.
It’s conceivable that this suggests that lower-cost versions of Apple Vision Pro may feature reduced resolutions, and the names will mirror that distinction. Conversely, it could also indicate that higher-end variants of Apple Vision Pro with enhanced resolutions may be forthcoming.
Regardless, this represents an intriguing naming oversight. Only time will reveal whether this holds any substantial significance.
