Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman<\/a>Apple has now made that change official, at least internally. The company has not prioritized attached Vision headsets and has instead shifted most of its hardware engineering focus to Apple smart glasses.<\/p>\nThe restructuring has been in the making for more than a year. Apple disbanded its dedicated Vision Products Group, moving employees back into broader engineering departments. Apple rehired Mike Rockwell, who had led the headset division from the beginning, to oversee the combined Siri and VisionOS organization. Gurman reports that Rockwell now spends almost all of his time on Siri. Many of their top VisionOS representatives took the same step. Apple also canceled development of a cheaper “Vision Air” model last year. Any future-attached headsets are reportedly at least two years old.<\/p>\n
What are the glasses expected to look like?<\/h2>\n
Apple smart glasses reportedly skip a display altogether. Instead, they will rely on cameras, microphones, and speakers with tight Siri integration. This puts them closer to Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses than anything like the Vision Pro. Bloomberg reported in February that Apple had made significant progress on the project. The glasses could be ready for production by the end of the year, with a public release as early as 2027. Gurman also revealed that Apple is testing four different frame styles.<\/p>\n
Moving away from the headset makes more sense once you look at the sales trajectory of the Vision Pro. The report points to weak consumer demand, high return rates on the M5 refresh, and an entry price that has excluded most buyers. Apple reportedly shipped about 45,000 units in the holiday quarter of 2025. This is a sharp decline from about 390,000 units in 2024.<\/p>\n
Apple leadership still sees Vision Pro as a necessary step forward and has not moved away from the platform entirely. The M5 model remains on sale, VisionOS updates will continue, and incoming CEO John Turnas has acknowledged the device’s place in Apple’s long-term AR ambitions. But with the hardware talent now pointing to the specs and an enclosed successor still years away, it’s clear where the near-term stakes lie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
