Apple Scraps 2 Vision Pro Follow-Ups, Targets 2027 AI Glasses Under John Ternus

Summary
John Ternus approved a reset of Apple’s wearables roadmap that drops a second Vision Pro and the lighter Vision Air, leaving two smart-glasses projects in active development.
Ming-Chi Kuo said the shift redirects resources toward products with broader mass-market appeal: AI smart glasses aimed at Meta Ray-Bans and display-equipped AR glasses using optical waveguides.
2027 is Kuo’s target for the AI glasses, while the AR model is not expected before 2029; his June 2025 roadmap of seven products is now largely obsolete.
Mark Gurman said the Vision Air was canceled in October 2025 and Mac-linked display glasses in January 2025, though he added a Vision Pro 2 remains in testing even as the category is on ice.
Ternus takes over as Apple CEO on Sept. 1, 2026, with Tim Cook staying on as executive chairman, putting the strategy shift at the center of Apple’s next leadership era.
