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.
