According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo<\/a>, Ternus nixed plans for a second Vision Pro and a lighter Vision Air. Kuo says there are only two smart glasses products in development, including the AI smart glasses that Apple is creating to rival the Meta<\/a> Ray-Bans and a display-equipped set of AR smart glasses.<\/p>\n
“I think removing the Vision Pro line was the right call, as Apple shifts resources toward smart glasses with greater mass-market potential,” writes Kuo. Kuo says that the Vision products roadmap<\/a> that he shared in June 2025 is no longer a useful reference because of the major changes that Apple has made to its plans over the last year. Kuo’s product timeline originally featured seven products, but now it features just two that are still relevant.<\/p>\n Kuo believes the AI smart glasses will ship in 2027, while the display-equipped augmented reality glasses with “optical waveguides” won’t come out until 2029 at the earliest. Optical waveguides pair a micro-display with waveguides that guide the image to the user’s eyes. Lenses remain transparent, so the virtual content looks like it’s overlaid on the real world view.<\/p>\n Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman<\/a> weighed in<\/a> on Kuo’s report and said the Vision Air was discontinued in October 2025, the display glasses meant to pair with a Mac were sunset in January 2025, and AI smart glasses will launch at the end of 2027.<\/p>\n While Kuo does not believe Apple is working on any version of a Vision Pro, Gurman claims Apple has a Vision Pro 2 “in testing” but the category is “on ice.” Earlier this week<\/a>, Gurman also said Apple is working on a cheaper, lighter Vision Pro, but the device is unlikely to launch before late 2028 or 2029.<\/p>\n
