Two Years In, Apple's Vision Pro Shifts Focus Toward Smart Glasses

Two years after Vision Pro’s US launch on Feb 2, 2024, the headset has earned praise for visual quality and tracking but faced criticism over price and battery life. Apple released an M5-based update with up to 120 Hz and longer battery life, yet demand remained weak. Several reports have since indicated Apple paused plans for a redesigned Vision Pro and a cheaper Vision Air, winding down first-generation production and shifting resources toward smart glasses, with no active next-generation headset in development.

January Hint: Apple May Unveil M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pros

Speculation is mounting that Apple will unveil new MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro/Max in late January, spurred by the Creator Studio app bundle launch on Jan 28 and Apple’s upcoming Jan 29 earnings call, plus a precedent from January 2023. The current entry-level 14-inch with M5 was updated in October (PCIe 5.0 storage), and the high-end 14-inch and 16-inch models are expected to see few changes this cycle; bigger redesigns—OLED touchscreen, thinner design, built-in cellular, and M6 on a 2nm process—are anticipated for future generations in 2026–27. For most buyers, waiting for M5 Pro/Max or the next-gen upgrades may be prudent unless an upgrade is urgently needed.
