Apple may be working on a black Vision Pro headset. Images purportedly depicting it have been outed (see below), but it’s unclear if this will actually be launched as an alternative to the white version that’s been out for a while now, or if perhaps this was just a prototype that the company has scratched during the development process.

To add to the intrigue, Ming-Chi Kuo has now revised his roadmap for Apple’s smart glasses and headsets, which he originally published last year. In the revised iteration, there isn’t a successor to the Vision Pro coming. At all. The development of this line seems to have been cancelled altogether, in favor of two smart glasses.
This is allegedly the doing of Apple’s next CEO, John Ternus, who decided to focus on the glasses, as they have “greater mass-market potential”, according to Kuo. Obviously that means they should be cheaper than the Vision Pro.
The first pair of Apple Glasses won’t have a screen and is expected to arrive next year to compete with the screen-less Meta Ray-Ban. Then a pair with “optical waveguides” should arrive later – this has now apparently slipped to 2029.
