9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Ming-Chi Kuo has updated Apple’s Vision products roadmap, significantly reducing the lineup to only two types of glasses: display-less AI glasses set for 2027 and display-equipped AR/XR smart glasses planned for 2029.
- This major revision, reportedly approved by Apple’s next CEO John Ternus, removes all other potential Vision Pro successors from the development pipeline.
- The display-equipped glasses will use optical waveguides for their visuals, marking a shift from the previously broader range of seven head-mounted wearables announced last year.
- The update contrasts with recent reports from Mark Gurman, who mentioned Apple is working on a slimmer, lighter Vision Pro successor expected around 2028 or 2029, suggesting either outdated information or early-stage development.
- Anticipation is building for WWDC next week, where Apple may provide further clarity on Vision Pro developments and its future direction in visionOS 27.
