Gurman: New Apple Vision Pro Won't Arrive for at Least Two Years
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple is not abandoning the Vision Pro headset but any successor is unlikely to appear for at least two more years, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
- The company continues to develop new technologies aimed at creating a cheaper, lighter enclosed headset, but no such product is currently in active development, and the rumored "Vision Air" was canceled last year.
- Most of Apple's mixed-reality hardware team has been reassigned to other projects, including lightweight smart glasses, Siri chatbot improvements, and AI-enabled wearables like AirPods with cameras and a planned AI pendant.
- The Vision Pro's challenging retail launch has been linked to Apple's reduction of its retail workforce over the past decade, as detailed in a recent book by New York Times reporter Noam Scheiber.
- Apple refreshed the Vision Pro in October 2025 with an updated model featuring the M5 chip.
