Apple’s Vision Pro headset has been a flop, according to the latest report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. One reason is its price, unsurprisingly, the other one being “its cumbersome design”.
So Apple is now looking at the future and the next big thing, and apparently smart glasses are it. Thus, the company is said to be currently working on a version of visionOS that’s meant for smart glasses.
It makes sense to use the same OS that powers the Vision Pro, but the bad news is that Apple smart glasses are apparently still three years away, or even more.
Apple allegedly wanted to come out with a pair of smart glasses as a follow-up to the Vision Pro, so presumably within a year or two, but “the technical challenges were just too great”.
So now Apple wants to bridge the gap between the Vision Pro and the smart glasses by releasing “other devices in the style of Vision Pro” that will be cheaper and thus hopefully more enticing to consumers. Those, however, are unlikely to ship this year.
