Apple's Next Vision Pro Headset Is Reportedly Years Away

Apple is delaying the next Vision Pro model, possibly until 2028 or later, as it shifts engineering resources toward AI devices (an AI pendant and camera-equipped AirPods) and long-term AR glasses. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple will keep supporting the current Vision Pro (launched Feb 2024) but many executives view the product as limited by price and weight. The pause may temper near-term hardware revenue expectations for Apple’s spatial-computing efforts, while the broader mixed‑reality market is still projected to grow (~30% CAGR to 2030). The news is mixed for investors: ongoing support reduces immediate product risk, but a long gap to the next consumer upgrade could slow adoption and competitive positioning versus Meta and others.
