Overview

• Bloomberg reports Apple has paused work on a lower-cost Vision Pro, redirecting teams to an AI-focused smart-glasses effort.
• The glasses are expected to rely on iPhone pairing and include cameras, microphones, and AI features driven by an upgraded Siri targeted for 2026, according to industry reports.
• An initial unveiling could occur as early as 2026 with a broader rollout in 2027, based on the current reporting.
• A Vision Pro update with an M5 chip is still planned for later this year despite the resource shift.
• Coverage ties the move to sluggish Vision Pro uptake and pressure from Meta’s expanding Ray-Ban lineup, including new display-capable models.
