Vision Pro’s future is delayed

Apple hasn’t fully abandoned the Vision Pro, but anyone hoping for a successor will likely have to wait at least two more years, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

Gurman’s take on the headset

• In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman pushed back against suggestions that Apple has walked away from the headset entirely.
• He says Apple is still developing new technologies and materials behind the scenes, aiming eventually for a cheaper, lighter enclosed headset.
• However, no such product is currently in active development, and the long‑rumored “Vision Air” was canceled last year (source).

“If a new Vision Pro‑style device does materialize, I wouldn’t expect it for ‘around two more years at least,’” Gurman wrote, noting that most of Apple’s mixed‑reality hardware talent has been reassigned to other projects such as lightweight smart glasses (source).

Apple’s current focus

• The company’s smart‑glasses project is now the primary priority.
• Former Vision Products Group members have been moved to the smart‑glasses team and to bolster Siri chatbot development.
• Apple is also exploring other AI wearables, including AirPods with cameras and a planned AI pendant (source).

Retail launch controversy

The Vision Pro’s troubled retail launch was extensively covered in a book by New York Times labor reporter Noam Scheiber. The book argues that Apple’s decade‑long erosion of its retail workforce directly contributed to the disappointing launch of the $3,499 headset (source).

Recent hardware update

Apple refreshed the Vision Pro in October 2025, releasing an updated model that features an M5 chip.
