Overview
- MacRumors, relayed by Chinese outlet IT Home, reports Apple has halted work on a new Vision Pro and moved staff toward Siri upgrades and AI smart glasses.
- The reported glasses focus on photo and video capture, gesture input, and a more capable Siri rather than full augmented reality features.
- Sources describe two cameras on the frames, with a high‑resolution unit for media capture and a lower‑resolution wide‑angle unit for hand tracking and visual context for Siri.
- The first version is said to skip a built‑in display, LiDAR, and 3D sensors to cut weight and power use, with prototypes tested in lighter cellulose acetate frames.
- The report ties the shift to Vision Pro’s $3,499 price, more than 1.3‑pound weight, roughly 600,000 sales, and higher return rates, while visionOS software updates continue under Mike Rockwell.
