From The Verge: Apple seems to have big plans to expand its lineup of extended-reality (XR) devices by launching new Vision series headsets and smart glasses, according to a report from supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In his report, Kuo shares Apple’s potential roadmap for seven new head-mounted wearables, which could include the release of Meta Ray-Ban-like smart glasses, followed by XR glasses with a display.
As noted by Kuo, Apple could launch an M5-powered Vision Pro headset this year before showing off a “substantially lighter” Vision Air in 2027. This device will reportedly cost less than the $3,499 Vision Pro and use Apple’s flagship iPhone processor.
Kuo has also detailed Apple’s rumored plans to launch smart glasses in 2027, which could support voice control and gesture recognition, along with the ability to record videos with a built-in camera and an “AI environmental sensing” feature. Last month, sources told Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman that Apple’s upcoming smart glasses will be similar to the Meta Ray-Bans smart glasses “but better made.”
