Apple Vision Pro, the company’s first mixed-reality headset, was unveiled during MWC 2023. Featuring VisionOS on the software front, the “spatial computer” gets ultra-high-resolution dual OLED displays with a staggering 23 million pixels in total. Apple suggested the screens’ refresh rate is set at 90Hz, but rumors claim it can go up to 100Hz depending on the content.

DuanRui, a leaker on Twitter, says that the Vision Pro’s refresh rate is 90Hz by default and can go up to 100Hz. This suggests that the headset supports variable refresh rate and can adjust its refresh rate depending on the content being displayed. For context, the base model iPhones have a 60Hz refresh rate, while the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro have a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.

As 9to5Mac suggests, 90Hz is generally considered the minimum refresh rate for a comfortable virtual reality experience. This is because your brain is more likely to accept 90Hz as real-life motion. However, even if the refresh rate is lower than 90Hz, you may not notice a significant difference due to the nature of spatial computing.

Apple’s Vision Pro mixed-reality headset is still under development and is expected to be released in early 2024. It will come with a hefty price tag of $3,499, making it the most expensive Apple product ever. However, the headset will support a wide range of popular iPhone and iPad apps, such as Microsoft Word and Excel, Disney+, and Sky Guide. Apple has also announced support for the Unity game engine, which will ensure a diverse and engaging range of experiences for Vision Pro users.
