Apple is allegedly planning a “vision air” product, in which production is expected to start in Q3 2027. Kuo says that this will be more than 40 percent lighter than the first generation vision Pro, and will include Apple’s flagship iPhone processor, instead the stronger Mac processor found in Vision Pro instead is “much lower price compared to” Vision Pro “. Large weight reduction is obtained through glass-to-plastic replacement, broad magnesium alloy user (titanium alloy is considered very expensive), and reduces the sensor count. “

True smart glasses in 2027

Vision Pro (with Planned Vision Air) is a fully immersive VR headset outside the device that supports the enhanced reality by demonstrating the surroundings of the wear on the interior screen captured by 3D cameras. This allows for some clean applications, but this also means that the device is heavy and impractical to wear publicly.

The real dream for many is smart glasses that are almost indescribable from normal glasses, but which display some similar AR materials as vision Pro on transparent lens through the camera-to-screen pipeline.

Apple is also planning to roll, says Kuo. But first, the display-free “Ray-Ban-Lic” spectacles’ spectacles have been scheduled for a massive production Q2 2027, and KUO claims that Apple has planned a ship between 3 million and 5 million units through 2027, suggesting to the company that this form expects a great impact in comparison to VR-J’s VR-J’s Visan Pro.

The glasses will have “voice control and gesture recognition user interface”, but there will be no performance functionality at all. Instead, “Core features include: audio playback, camera, video recording and AI environment sensing.”

The actual AR glasses will later come in 2028.
