Kuo: Apple's Vision Pro Successors Off the Table as Focus...
Kuo says the overhaul removes Vision Pro successors and leaves only AI and display-equipped smart glasses in development, with launches planned for 2027 and 2029.
- On Wednesday, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that Apple has reduced its Vision product roadmap from seven devices to two, a major overhaul approved by incoming Apple CEO John Ternus.
- This consolidation departs from the seven-device roadmap Kuo shared last year, as Apple pivots toward 'smart glasses with greater mass-market potential' rather than continuing the Vision Pro line.
- Remaining development focuses on AI smart glasses due in 2027 to rival the Meta Ray-Ban, which holds an 82% market share, and display-equipped AR glasses expected in 2029 using 'optical waveguides.'
- Ternus, who officially takes over September 1, 2026, authorized the overhaul, which Kuo describes as acknowledgment that the Vision Pro strategy 'didn't pay off at the pace Apple had hoped.'
- While Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims Apple has a Vision Pro 2 'in testing,' the category is 'on ice,' as the smart glasses market grew 139% year-over-year in late 2025.
