Apple’s M5 Vision Pro is made in Vietnam in latest China shift

Apple Inc.’s new Vision Pro headset doesn’t offer much in the way of fresh features, but the company made a notable change to its production.

The latest model, which goes on sale Wednesday with the new M5 processor and more comfortable band, is assembled in Vietnam, according to labels on its packaging. The original model, which debuted in February 2024 with the M2 processor, was initially built in China.

Though the Vision Pro is one of Apple’s lowest-volume products, the move underscores the company’s shift away from China. It continues to make most iPhones in the Asian country, but much of Apple’s US-bound device production is moving elsewhere.
