In his report, Kuo shares Apple\u2019s potential roadmap for seven new head-mounted wearables, which could include the release of Meta Ray-Ban-like smart glasses, followed by XR glasses with a display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As noted by Kuo, Apple could launch an M5-powered Vision Pro headset this year before showing off a \u201csubstantially lighter\u201d Vision Air in 2027. This device will reportedly cost less than the $3,499 Vision Pro and use Apple\u2019s flagship iPhone processor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Kuo has also detailed Apple\u2019s rumored plans to launch smart glasses in 2027, which could support voice control and gesture recognition, along with the ability to record videos with a built-in camera and an \u201cAI environmental sensing\u201d feature. Last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/673030\/apple-ai-smart-glasses-2026-launch-rumor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sources told <em>Bloomberg<\/em>\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a> that Apple\u2019s upcoming smart glasses will be similar to the Meta Ray-Bans smart glasses \u201cbut better made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Rumors about Apple\u2019s upcoming smart glasses have been floating around for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/2\/25\/24082760\/apple-smart-glasses-airpods-cameras-smart-ring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">over a year now<\/a> and have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/663600\/apple-smart-glasses-chips-ar-chip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">only ramped up<\/a> following the success of Meta\u2019s Ray-Ban smart glasses. Meta recently announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/690133\/meta-oakley-hstn-ai-glasses-price-date\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new pair of glasses with Oakley<\/a> that capture 3K video, while Google is working on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/hands-on\/671077\/project-moohan-android-xr-google-io-2025-smart-glasses-wearables\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android-powered XR glasses of its own<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Further down the road, Apple could launch a 2nd-gen Vision Pro that features a new, \u201csignificantly lighter\u201d design and a cheaper price in 2028, according to Kuo. The company Apple is also reportedly working on display-equipped XR glasses with voice control and gesture recognition for 2028 as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are a couple of other devices with murkier timelines, including a second-gen pair of XR glasses and a device that users can tether to an iPhone or Mac. Kuo reports that development on the tethered device has been paused due to \u201cinsufficient competitive advantage,\u201d as Apple\u2019s device would weigh more than rival products.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple is rumored to launch a lighter \u2014 and cheaper \u2014 version of the Vision Pro.
