Overview

  • Ming-Chi Kuo’s leaked roadmap indicates Apple is working on at least seven head-worn devices, with five models fitted to specific launch windows.
  • The company is expected to ship a limited-run Vision Pro update powered by the M5 chip before the end of 2025.
  • Apple’s first non-display smart glasses, featuring music playback, messaging, camera functions and AI integration via voice and gestures, are slated for mass production in spring 2027.
  • A lighter, lower-priced Vision Air headset is projected to arrive in fall 2027, followed by transparent-display XR glasses in the second half of 2028.
  • The timeline remains unofficial and may shift as Apple addresses Siri delays and intensifying competition from Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses and Google’s Android XR prototypes.
