Apple Vision Pro successor delayed at least two years as Apple pivots to lighter AR glasses

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple isn't abandoning Vision Pro but won’t launch a new Vision Pro–style device for at least two years, as Apple continues to develop cheaper, lighter enclosed headsets and shifts hardware talent to smart glasses and related AI wearables; the previously rumored Vision Air was canceled and teams reassigned, with ongoing attention to Vision Pro’s retail launch issues from recent coverage.

Apple Trims Vision Pro Push After M5 Update Fails to Move the Needle

Apple has effectively given up on the Vision Pro after the M5 refresh failed to spark demand; despite a faster M5 chip, 120Hz refresh, extra battery life, and a more comfortable band, the $3,499 headset remains heavy and expensive, with insider reports of unusually high returns. The Vision Pro team has been redistributed to other projects (including Siri), and while rumors of a cheaper Vision Air exist, Apple has no plans for a new model and is focusing on AR glasses without a built-in display.

Steam Link Brings PC Gaming to Apple Vision Pro in Bold Beta

Valve has released an early beta of Steam Link for Apple Vision Pro, enabling PC gaming streaming directly to the headset via Big Picture with 120Hz refresh, eye-tracking, and pinch gestures; while visuals are crisp, there’s noticeable input latency and UI flicker, and performance depends on a fast home network and a capable PC. This beta signals Vision Pro’s potential as a more open, game-friendly platform, but it’s not yet polished and SteamVR support remains limited.

Apple Cuts Vision Pro Production Amid Weak AR/VR Sales

In 2025, both Apple and Meta faced significant challenges in the VR headset market, with Apple shipping only 45,000 Vision Pro units and Meta experiencing a 16% decline in Quest shipments, amid a broader market downturn and reduced advertising. Despite the slump in consumer VR, the market for smart glasses is booming, with IDC projecting a 211.2% growth in 2025, and Apple and Meta exploring enterprise and educational applications for their devices. The market is expected to recover somewhat in 2026, especially for Apple with plans for a lower-cost headset targeting enterprise use.
