Apple prepares for a new Vision Pro with M4 chip, coming later this year
The updated Vision Pro will feature a faster M4 processor—currently used in iPad Pro and MacBook Pro models—replacing the outdated M2 chip, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke to Bloomberg. The upgrade will also include enhanced artificial intelligence components with additional neural engine cores beyond the current 16-core configuration, and a redesigned strap system to reduce neck strain and head pain from the 1.4-pound device.
Major redesign planned for 2027 as competition heats up
While this initial upgrade focuses on performance improvements, Apple is simultaneously developing a significantly lighter redesigned model targeted for 2027. The company is also working on a tethered enterprise headset and planning true AR glasses, with the ultimate goal of dominating the smart glasses category.

The Vision Pro's disappointing market performance stems from its cumbersome hardware, hefty price tag, and lack of compelling exclusive applications. Apple has sold only hundreds of thousands of units since launch—far below expectations for a company that successfully revolutionized smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
The minor second-generation changes are unlikely to transform the headset into a consumer hit but may attract corporate customers and encourage more app developers to support the platform. Apple will also roll out visionOS 26 operating system later this year, featuring virtual widgets and eye-scrolling capabilities.
Competition is intensifying as Meta Platforms offers cheaper alternatives and Samsung prepares to launch its Moohan headset in 2025. Meta plans to release true AR glasses by 2027, potentially beating Apple to market by several years.
Earlier this year, Apple reshuffled the Vision Pro team, with top manager Mike Rockwell transitioning to focus on Siri and the headset's operating system, while software and hardware teams were reorganized into different development groups.

Aadhaar is new weak link in insurance
Mumbai: After manipulating PIN codes for over a decade, fraudsters have found a new way in the insurance system to exploit Aadhaar-linked processes for identity-based frauds. From motor insurance to health claims, criminals are now manipulating Aadhaar data through forged documents to file bogus claims. UP Police have, as of late July, sent out notices to several insurance companies to share details of the claims teams and other executives involved. These cases involve fake documents and coordinated efforts across banks and insurers.

"Aadhaar is emerging as the latest weak link in the fraud chain," said Anukriti Sharma, additional SP Sambhal. "Fraudsters have started creating fake identities using forged or manipulated Aadhaar cards to obtain policies, and to initiate fictitious claims." Live Events Investigations by UP Police have shown that not only are these criminals targeting life and health insurance policies with forged documents but are also running organised rackets for auto insurance. "We have had 2-3 cases tied to the UP fraud," said Krishnan Ramachandran, MD and CEO, Niva Bupa Health Insurance. "Our fraud investigation team is actively involved. These cases often involve fake documents and coordinated efforts." Several life insurers and general insurers have reported instances where Aadhaar-linked phone numbers and email IDs did not match the policyholder's actual contact details, and these frauds go undetected until a claim is filed or money is withdrawn. In certain cases, police found that the syndicate members scout hospital corridors and rural villages for the most vulnerable or people already facing death or poverty. They convince families to hand over Aadhaar details, alter addresses to bypass blacklisted pin codes, and open accounts in their names using small finance banks with less oversight. Then came the life insurance policies where policies worth ₹20 lakh or more are taken. IIB has been stepping up efforts using several modules and platforms for fraud detection and prevention. For instance, one of the tools that stored 144 million records helped identify 300,000 potentially fraudulent life insurance cases, involving a sum assured of ₹1.73 lakh crore over five years.
