New Vision Pro Headset: Apple Considering Four Different Concepts
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple is testing four concepts, including an external module design, as it seeks a lighter Vision Pro successor.
- Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman says Apple's 'completely revamped' Vision Pro headset is on 'life support,' with a potential launch date targeted for late 2028 or early 2029.
- Apple is experimenting with different materials and designs to reduce weight, yet senior decision-makers reject the external puck concept as a 'poor user experience,' preferring 'something closer to an all-in-one design.'
- Engineers are exploring four concepts for the device, codenamed N224, including designs that offload internal components similar to Meta's glasses, which feature a waist-clipped module for the battery and main processor.
- Despite senior Vision Pro leaders 'pressing their bosses to keep the category alive, funded and growing at Apple,' Gurman reports the company is shifting focus toward developing smart glasses for late 2027.
- The current development is distinct from the long-rumored 'Vision Air,' which Apple cancelled last year, and there is no guarantee a new headset will ever reach consumers.
