The next Apple Vision headset could use titanium, and come in a dark blue
A new leak claims that Apple’s follow up to the Apple Vision Pro will switch from aluminum to titanium to reduce weight, and will come in a black or dark blue color.
Following a dubious report that Apple Vision Pro 2 will come out in April 2026, a new leak claims that the next headset may not be called Apple Vision Pro at all. It may instead be just called Apple Vision, or possibly Apple Vision Air.
Without specifying a release date, leaker Kosutami has also tweeted that the next headset will be this lighter model.
Our next friend in the Vision lineup is so thin, features titanium to reduce weight, including the connectors and the battery, and all comes with iPhone 5-era black- which looks like graphite dark blue. And be noted: this might not called as — -Pro but you can Air it out.

In the thread that follows that tweet, Kosutami further walks this back a little, saying that “most of the outside would be still [sic] aluminum.” He or she insists, though, that titanium will be used for a “few of [the] internal structures.”
Kosutami is also specific that the move from aluminum to titanium is in order to reduce weight. Titanium is stronger than aluminum, although it’s also more expensive.
And, Titanium alloy is denser that Aluminum. A cubic centimeter of titanium comes in at about 4.4 grams. The same volume of Aluminum is 2.7 grams.
Apple does now have more than a year of details about the wear and tear on the Apple Vision Pro headset. So it’s feasible that the company has determined it can mix materials to get an optimum mix that sees a lesser volume of titanium doing the job that aluminum does now to achieve that lower overall weight.
As for the “iPhone 5-era black” color that looks like a dark graphite blue, it’s also feasible that Apple would want to make a clear visual distinction between its headsets. It does already do so with distinguishing between the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro range, for instance.
Note, though, that Kosutami has a mixed track record. This Apple Vision Pro leak sounds like a bit of wishful thinking, but he or she has previously shown some HomePod pre-production images — and also entirely inaccurate leaks about the Apple Watch.
