Apple has pushed back its plans for augmented reality glasses to the end of the decade, according to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman. In a post on X, Gurman revealed that a new, lighter and more affordable version of the Vision Pro headset is now targeted for late 2028 or 2029. This follows the cancellation of the lower-cost Vision Air model. The update suggests Apple is taking more time to refine its spatial computing strategy after mixed results with the original Vision Pro.

Apple Augmented Reality Glasses Delayed
I don't expect AR glasses until the end of the decade, while a new Vision Pro (not the canceled Vision Air) that's cheaper/lighter is in the works for late 2028 or 2029, I'm told. That category will essentially be on ice until it figures out how to make it happen. https://t.co/dJBgNafM9a
