Overview

• Bloomberg reports Apple told staff last week it is moving engineers off a lighter, lower-cost Vision Pro to accelerate smart-glasses development.
• At least two glasses are in the works: a display-less iPhone-paired model known internally as N50 and a separate display-equipped version whose timeline is being pulled forward from a prior 2028 target.
• The glasses are expected to rely on voice and AI, with an overhauled Siri planned for 2026, and to include speakers, cameras and potential health features.
• The shift follows slow Vision Pro adoption at a $3,499 price point and growing competition from Meta’s Ray‑Ban lineup, including the new Display model.
• Apple has not dropped headsets entirely, with regulatory filings and reports pointing to an updated Vision Pro featuring a faster chip still in the pipeline.
