Apple Pauses Vision Headsets, Shifts to Glasses | JQJO

Apple’s headset roadmap is reportedly on ice as the company pivots to smart glasses. After lukewarm reception to 2024’s Vision Pro, plans for a cheaper Vision Air and a redesigned Vision Pro 2 slipped and were then paused, with production of the first model winding down amid weak demand, according to supply-chain and media reports. Bloomberg says Apple has halted the Air to accelerate glasses. In the interim, Apple is expected to refresh the existing headset with an M5 chip, possible R2 coprocessor, and new Dual Knit headband, with FCC filings hinting at an imminent launch.
