Apple Cuts VR Team as Vision Pro Strategy Shifts to Smart Glasses

Apple has laid off at least 60 employees from its VR development team within the Vision Products Group, signaling a strategic pivot away from heavy headsets toward lighter smart glasses. This move aligns with incoming CEO John Ternus’s reported decision to pause VR initiatives, as the company prioritizes Siri AI and more affordable, wearable technology. While the Apple Vision Pro is not discontinued, its development is slowing due to high component costs and limited market appeal, with future efforts focused on visionOS updates and eventual AR glasses.

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.
