Overview
- Apple has reportedly paused the N100 'Vision Air' and reassigned staff to speed a display-equipped smart-glasses program.
- The company is said to be pursuing two variants, with an N50 model without a display targeted for a 2026 reveal and 2027 launch, and a separate display model moved up from an earlier 2028 plan.
- The reprioritization is reported as a competitive response to Meta, whose Ray-Ban Display is approaching retail.
- Reporting says the glasses roadmap centers on voice interaction and AI, with a new Siri underpinning future wearables, cameras, speakers and smart displays.
- A Vision Pro 2 also remains in development, appearing in a US FCC database and expected to add an M4/M5-class chip and a more comfortable headband; Apple has not confirmed any of these details.
