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.

The Quiet Driver Behind Siri’s Revival Fades From the Spotlight

Bloomberg reports that Mike Rockwell, who helped push Apple’s AI strategy and led the Siri revival behind the scenes after the Vision Pro era, is not getting the credit or a promotion he expected as WWDC 2026 looms; the revamped Siri is expected to be context-aware, include a dedicated chatbot, and run on a Google-backed LLM, with Apple leadership divided over Vision Pro’s fate.

Apple Bets on Ultra-Light AR Glasses for Mass Market, With Display-Enabled Versions Years Away

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests Apple will pivot from the bulky Vision Pro toward lightweight AR glasses aimed at broad adoption, with a display-less model due in 2027 and a display-enabled version not arriving until 2029; Vision Pro itself may be deprioritized or out of active development. The glasses are expected to run different OSes based on whether they’re connected to a Mac or iPhone, and Apple’s move to a 2nm silicon process could enable thinner form factors, though battery life and public acceptance remain hurdles.

Apple pivots from Vision Pro to AI and AR glasses

Apple is refocusing its spatial-computing strategy, canceling plans for a second Vision Pro and the lighter Vision Air, and concentrating on two smart-glasses projects: AI-powered glasses expected in 2027 and display-based AR glasses with optical waveguides not before 2029. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman adds that Vision Pro 2 may be in testing but the category is effectively on ice as John Ternus takes the helm.

Reorg, not demise: Apple Vision Pro path remains in play

Rumors of the Vision Pro team's dissolution are likely exaggerated; Apple is reorganizing rather than ending the program, keeping visionOS under Mike Rockwell while moving Vision Pro staff to other projects (including Siri). Apple still treats Spatial Computing as its future, awaiting tech advances for a true second‑gen device and continuing AR/VR development and developer support, with WWDC 2026 expected to push visionOS and related platforms forward.

Apple’s AI Glasses Preview: Gesture Control Without a Screen at Launch

Apple is developing AI smart glasses with two cameras—a high‑resolution sensor for photos/videos and a low‑resolution wide‑angle camera for gesture input and Siri—leaning on hand gestures since the first version will have no display, LiDAR, or 3D cameras to conserve battery life. The device may use acetate styling and run a smarter Siri coming in iOS 27, with a possible preview this year and a 2027 launch window to compete with Meta’s Ray‑Bans.
