The topic John Ternus scaled back Apple\u2019s Vision products roadmap: report<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Ming-Chi Kuo published a roadmap for Apple\u2019s Vision products last year, but he\u2019s just provided an update that drastically scales back the lineup\u2014a shift reportedly authorized by John Ternus.<\/p>\n

Last June, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple had seven head-mounted wearables in various stages of development.<\/p>\n

One of those products, the M5 Vision Pro, has already shipped. But of the remaining six, Kuo now says that only two products are in active development:<\/p>\n

Kuo says the glasses with a display are \u201cpowered by optical waveguides.\u201d<\/p>\n

He shared the update in a new post on X, where he adds: \u201cThe major overhaul was signed off by Apple\u2019s next CEO, John Ternus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kuo\u2019s report removes all potential Vision Pro successors from Apple\u2019s roadmap.<\/p>\n

The timing of his post is especially curious, as Mark Gurman shared just this week that Apple is \u201cworking on a slimmer and lighter headset to succeed to the $3,499 Vision Pro.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gurman doesn\u2019t expect the product to launch until 2028 or 2029. However, the news was noteworthy because Gurman previously said that Apple had shifted its full focus to smart glasses and had no active plans for a Vision Pro successor.<\/p>\n

Either Kuo\u2019s information is outdated, or the planned Vision Pro successor is still in very nascent stages.<\/p>\n

In any case, hopefully WWDC next week will bring solid Vision Pro updates in visionOS 27, and give us a better idea of Apple\u2019s Vision-related ambitions.<\/p>\n
