Gotta love how Apple keeps us all on our toes, right? So, this tech analyst dude, Ming-Chi Kuo, dropped the 411 on Apple’s wild roadmap. Picture this: he’s saying we’ll get a fancier Vision Pro later this year, and then — brace yourself — AR glasses by 2028. Yeah, I scratched my head too.
So, Kuo’s been spilling Apple’s secrets for a while. This time, he blogged (is blogging still a thing?) about these XR gadgets coming up. Apparently, he’s got some sneaky supply chain whispers to back him up.
The scoop is, a new Vision Pro with some snazzy M5 chip is hitting mass production by Q3 2025. That’s geek-speak for a lotta those gadgets rolling out, like 150k-200k units. The chip’s getting an upgrade, but looks like everything else is, well, staying cozy.
Now, why didn’t they jazz up more specs? Kuo thinks Apple’s playing it cool because – let’s face it – Vision Pro’s still a niche pick. They’re tweaking stuff to keep it relevant and shake up XR apps or something. Moving on — wait, no — let’s talk about “Vision Air.” Sounds like a sneaker, but it’s actually supposed to be a featherweight headset landing in Q3 2027. Supposedly, it’ll be 40% lighter than Vision Pro. Which begs the question… what are they stripping away? Ah, Kuo’s notes mention plastic lenses, fancy magnesium, and less sensors. Oh, and a top iPhone chip.
Then there’s “Vision Pro 2,” aiming for 2028. Imagine a makeover, a Mac-level chip, and a price drop. Apple’s gearing up to ditch niche vibes for mainstream acceptance. Big move, huh?
While juggling all this, Apple’s dabbling in smart glasses too. Think Ray-Ban but techy, coming around Q2 2027. They’re gunning for 3-5 million units — yikes, talk about ambition. No display, just sound, AI, snaps, and gestures. Sound familiar? Uh, everybody’s referencing Ray-Ban and Oakley.
Highlight of Kuo’s tale? Apple making real-deal AR glasses with a color display and AI fluff by 2028. Think lighter, cooler, and more real-world wizardry.
Oh, before I forget, Apple scratched a simpler, tethered viewer plan. The thing was set for Q2 2026 but got canned due to what? Weight issues. Classic.
Honestly, Apple’s secrets are the Fort Knox of tech, right? They spill deets on stage, price tag and all. Kuo’s got cred, but hey, maybe keep a salt shaker nearby while digesting this intel.
