Apple Plans Multiple XR Headsets and Smart Glasses Launches Through 2028

Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple plans to release a cheaper, lighter version of its Vision Pro headset called Apple Vision Air in 2027, along with a Mac-tethered headset and a next-generation Vision Pro in 2028. The company is also working on smart glasses expected to launch in late 2026 or 2027, and has canceled earlier AR glasses plans, focusing instead on true AR glasses with microLED displays expected around 2028. These developments suggest Apple is steadily advancing its mixed reality and AR product lineup, though timelines and details remain uncertain.
