Apple Reportedly Developing AR Glasses With visionOS Integration

The company is exploring lighter, more affordable wearables to expand its AR product lineup, following lukewarm reception of the Vision Pro headset.

  • Apple is reportedly working on AR smart glasses that will run a version of its visionOS, designed to offer a more accessible alternative to the Vision Pro headset.
  • The Vision Pro has faced criticism for being expensive, heavy, and prone to overheating, with sales falling below Apple's expectations since its launch.
  • The AR glasses project, which could take over three years to materialize, is part of Apple's broader push to compete with rivals like Meta, Google, and Samsung in the AR/VR space.
  • Apple is also considering a lower-cost Vision Pro model, targeting a price similar to high-end iPhones, though no firm prototype has been finalized yet.
  • The company is conducting user studies and exploring other wearables, including non-AR smart glasses and AirPods with cameras, to enhance the integration of AI and AR technologies.
