Apple Suspends Cheaper Vision Pro Display as Samsung Ends 1,700-PPI G-VR Project

Summary
Samsung Display is set to formally terminate by September its G-VR panel program for Apple, a lower-cost micro-OLED display tied to a cheaper, lighter Vision Pro.
The glass-substrate panel was being developed at about 1,600 to 1,700 PPI—roughly half the current Vision Pro's 3,386 PPI—and had once been eyed for mass production after 2028.
Apple shifted engineering focus toward smart glasses, draining momentum from the lower-cost headset effort and reinforcing reports that the cheaper "Vision Air" concept was first paused and later canceled.
Apple still has not exited headsets entirely, but any new Vision Pro-style device is not expected for at least two more years, while smart glasses are targeted for 2027.
