Apple shelves Vision Pro overhaul to focus on AI glasses

Apple has reportedly shelved plans for a major overhaul of its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset to focus on developing at least two types of AI-powered smart glasses. According to Bloomberg, the company is prioritizing the creation of these simpler and more affordable glasses as the next step in its augmented reality (AR) ambitions. The report suggests that Apple has faced challenges in the development of the Vision Pro, leading the company to recalibrate its strategy. The smart glasses, on the other hand, are expected to be more accessible and integrate advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. The decision to shift focus reflects Apple's desire to expand its AR offerings and make them more mainstream. The smart glasses are likely to be positioned as a more practical and user-friendly alternative to the high-end and complex Vision Pro. While the details of the smart glasses' features and capabilities remain limited, the move suggests that Apple is aiming to capitalize on the growing demand for AI-driven wearable technology.
