For months, we have been talking about a New Vision Pro Model Something cheaper, oriented to people who, despite wanting glasses like that, could not pay what the originals are worth. These would have limitations, but their price would be much more affordable.
However, it seems that this will not happen, and after the presentation of the Meta Smart Glasses (Ray-Ban), Apple will focus on something similar, trying to do the competition to the rival company, and leaving aside this other project that they expected much.
New Apple glasses
Apple has decided to leave in pause, at least for the moment, the project of lighter and more economical glasses, known as “Vision Air”to focus your resources on a New product, smart glasses driven by artificial intelligence. The decision is no coincidence, since what you are looking for is to stand up to what target would finish presenting with its Ray-Ban Display. Instead of including a screen in this first version, they will be simpler, with cameras, microphones and an AI system that allows useful functions, from showing notifications and recognizing what happens around you to help you with your voice. It is not just a technological accessory, Apple wants you to also fit the fashion field. The idea is that you can choose mounts, colors and materials so that they are not seen as a technological product, but as glasses that anyone would use naturally, even people who do not need them in their day to day.
The company's plan is to have a version soonalready available next year (without the goal is escaped so much), overlooking a more general and pro launch in 2027. The integrated screen version would arrive further, when the technology and the market are ready (so it is time to wait a lot).
In principle, these glasses will have an Apple's own chip, but they are expected to depend on the iPhone, at least in its first generations. In addition, much of its potential would be in the hands of a renewed version of Siri, which Apple hopes to become a much more powerful and useful assistant for the spring of 2026, so they would already arrive with him integrated.
Apple does not want these glasses to be perceived as a passenger experiment (as we might think of the vision pro), but as a product that can become day to daysomething similar to what happened at the time with the Apple Watch. The key is that they are practical, but also attractive, so that the design invites them to take them, although there is no real need. If they get the experience to be fluid, that the glasses are not heavy and that Siri really makes an important leap in intelligence, we would be facing a device with the potential to change the way we use technology, both at home and in the street or at work. Especially for person who already wear glasses in their day to day.
At the same time, Apple continues with the vision prowhich will receive an update with M5 chip this year, so they have not forgotten them, only that they are looking for an alternative product, leaving aside the cheap version of them, which we could have lost, at least for at the moment.
