"Making visionOS headsets that use Mac or iPhone processors to run. These would be particularly useful for business and education users. Developing smart glasses with lower-specced specs (?) that are lightweight and designed for augmented rather than spatial reality. Using lower cost materials in production. This could mean abandoning the lenticular display on the exterior of the device, or lower-resolution displays, or more use of lower cost materials; crucially, these compromises would aim to preserve most of the existing Vision Pro experience."
"Tomorrow belongs to? Promises of jam tomorrow always sound good, but when can we expect Apple's confectionery to set? Speculation over the last year points to 2027, with a potential introduction at the end of this year. That leaves Apple free to focus on improvements across its core platforms, particularly AI integration, for the year ahead, even as it engages in its biggest product introduction season ever in preparation for the 20 th anniversary iPhone in 2027."
Apple may produce lower-cost visionOS headsets that run on Mac or iPhone processors and lightweight smart glasses optimized for augmented reality rather than full spatial computing. Production compromises could include lower-resolution displays, fewer external lenticular elements, and increased use of lower-cost materials while preserving most of the Vision Pro experience. Release speculation centers around 2027, with a potential late-2026 introduction, allowing focus on AI integration and core platform improvements in the interim. Businesses and educational institutions have roughly twelve months to evaluate spatial-computing use cases and to prepare procurement and integration plans ahead of broader, lower-cost system availability.
