Apple is, according to the latest information, quite clear about where it wants to push head-worn devices in the coming years. At least that's what reporter Mark Gurman from Bloombergaccording to which the company aims to launch its first smart glasses by the end of 2027. In addition, development of a completely redesigned successor is also continuing. Apple Vision Pro, which is expected to be launched much later. And I'm not surprised, honestly. While smart glasses have been a trend in recent years, Vision Pro on the contrary, he was not completely convinced and therefore it is not surprising that his development Apple it doesn't really push.

However, the fact that the first smart glasses from Apple should not be the futuristic augmented reality product that has been speculated about for years, but on the contrary, a very conservative device. Apple It is said to be based on a concept similar to the current Ray-Ban Meta, in which its glasses should also offer a camera, speakers and smart functions. On the other hand, there will be no display that would display information directly in front of the user's eyes. It is true that on variawith the display has Apple also working, however, the release is scheduled for a later date.

Apple is also working on a completely new Vision Pro
In addition to glasses, the Californian giant is also said to be working on a completely redesigned headset. Vision Pro with internal designation N224. Apple is reportedly exploring four different concepts for how the successor to the current Vision Pro look, and one option is to move some of the hardware outside the headset itself into a separate external unit, which would reduce its weight. That would make a lot of sense to me, considering that it's already Vision Pro tied to a battery, to which it is connected by a cable. So I think it would actually be quite different if this "unit" were a little bigger and could hide the processor, for example.
But it supposedly doesn't have such a solution inside Apple support. According to Gurman, some executives are said to consider an external unit a worse solution and would prefer the complete hardware directly in the headset. The catch, however, is that creating a device that is both lighter, cheaper, and still powerful enough is a much more complex technical challenge, and that is why the launch of the new headset is far from certain. ProAccording to available information, the project is supposed to be located practically at the beginning and if it isonec actually gets to the market, Gurman estimates its arrival at up toonec 2028 or early 2029.

From the perspective of the near future, smart glasses are much more interesting. If Apple If they actually stick to the current plan, by the end of next year we could see a product that will be much closer to classic glasses than the current one. Vision Pro. And that's what could be much more interesting for regular users than another big and expensive headset, and I say that as an owner of Meta Ray-Ban glasses who really likes to film in them. The idea actually appeals to me all the more. Apple glasses that will be perfectly integrated into Apple I like the ecosystem and I sincerely hope that this will happen.
