According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s roadmap for new XR devices includes a Vision Pro refresh, a lighter Vision Air, and several smart and XR glasses models.

Kuo has said the first device - a Vision Pro with an M5 chip - is expected to enter mass production in Q3 2025, with shipments estimated at 150,000–200,000 units by year-end .

Kuo wrote on social media: “Apple views head‑mounted devices as the next major trend in consumer electronics.

“The company currently has at least seven projects in development, comprising three Vision series products and four smart glasses variants.”

The Vision Air - which is said to be targeting Q3 2027 - is described as about 40 per cent lighter than Vision Pro, using plastic optics and magnesium alloy instead of glass and titanium.

It will supposedly run on a “highest‑end” iPhone-class chip and be priced significantly lower than the Vision Pro, which retails at $3,499.

Apple’s first mass‑market smart glasses are also tipped for mid‑2027 production, with estimated shipments of 3–5 million units.

They’ll reportedly support voice control, gesture recognition, video recording, and AI-based environmental sensing - fetures that are expected to rival Meta’s Ray‑Ban glasses.

Further down the line, Kuo claims Apple has plans for display-equipped “XR Glasses” in 2028 - including waveguide optics and AI features - alongside a second-generation Vision Pro with a Mac‑grade processor and lighter build.

No new Apple headsets are expected in 2026, as the roadmap supposedly pauses before launching multiple devices between 2027 and 2028.

However, none of these plans are confirmed by Apple, and Kuo’s projections, while detailed, remain speculative.
