Overview

• Bloomberg reported Apple told staff it is halting work on a lighter, lower-cost Vision Pro and moving engineers to smart‑glasses projects.
• The first glasses reportedly lack a built‑in display, pair with iPhones under the codename N50, and could be unveiled in 2026 with a broader rollout in 2027.
• A separate model with an AR display is in development with an accelerated timeline from a previously reported 2028 target to counter Meta’s Ray‑Ban Display.
• Apple is expected to lean on an upgraded Siri powered by large language models for voice‑first interactions alongside cameras, microphones, speakers and potential health features.
• Updates to Vision Pro remain on the roadmap, though resources are shifting to glasses after reports of sub‑million U.S. sales and persistent concerns about price and weight.
