Apple halts cheaper Vision Pro display project as focus shifts to smart glasses

Apple has suspended development of the cheaper glass-substrate micro-OLED Vision Pro display (G-VR) with Samsung Display and plans to terminate the project by September; mass production was eyed for after 2028 as Apple pivots toward smart glasses. Samsung continues to work on OLED panels for its own devices; the lighter, cheaper ‘Vision Air’ has been canceled, and any new Vision Pro–style device isn’t expected for several years. Vision Pro itself was refreshed in 2025 with an M5 chip and a price hike.

However, it lacks a true ambient mode, doesn’t include Dolby Vision HDR, and HDR color accuracy is weaker than some rivals, with higher color-errors and some orange hues shifting toward yellow. It’s a compelling option for gamers and bright-room viewing, but last year’s model or competing LG TVs may offer better value depending on priorities.
