Apple has made its priorities clear, according to a new report. The company is now more intent on developing its take on smart glasses, and this reportedly means that other head wearable tech in its pipeline has been scrapped.
An insider is now claiming that Apple has now dropped most of the devices that are part of its Vision roadmap as it prioritizes the development of the smart glasses.
Apple Drops Most Devices on Vision Roadmap
1. The Apple XR headset and smart glasses roadmap I put together about a year ago is no longer a useful reference. For now, only two smart glasses products remain visible in the roadmap.

Analyst and insider Ming-Chi Kuo has shared new information on X (via Digital Trends), which states that Apple has already dropped most of the devices that are part of its Vision roadmap. Kuo followed up on his roadmap released last year, and here, the new post by the analyst details what Apple removed from the lineup of its developments.
Kuo said that only two devices remain, and both of them are smart glasses developments in the latest roadmap. The analyst claims that the changes were approved by none other than Apple's upcoming CEO, John Ternus.
The ones canceled by Apple at this time mainly involve devices in the Vision lineup, particularly the highly awaited Vision Pro 2, the 2024 device's successor that will supposedly get a chip upgrade.
Aside from this, the Vision Air, which is best known as the headset that is supposed to deliver the lighter and cheaper option for users, was also canceled by Apple.
The new report suggests that the Vision Pro lineup could take a while before it sees its next generation.
Apple's Priority: Smart Glasses Development
Based on Kuo's latest report, the main priority of Apple and its CEO, Tim Cook, which is the development of smart glasses, is the one that remains in the Vision roadmap.
Cook was previously reported to have instructed Apple's team to make the smart glasses development a top priority, mainly because it has proven to be feasible and greatly appealing in the market.
Back then, Cook and Apple's goal was to catch up to Meta, the leader in today's smart glasses market, and join other tech companies in debuting their take on the advanced specs.
Apple's development will see AI-powered smart glasses arrive by 2027. This will subsequently be followed by smart glasses with display and featuring AR/XR tech, which is expected to be released by 2029.
