Okay, so this is wild, but I just stumbled on this whole scoop about Apple’s future tech plans. If you’re into that kind of thing, buckle up, because it’s a bit of a ride. So, there’s this tech analyst guy, Ming-Chi Kuo. He’s kind of a big deal when it comes to spilling the beans on Apple’s future gizmos.
Apparently, Apple is lining up a bunch of XR gadgets, and if Kuo’s to be believed—which, let’s face it, sometimes he hits the mark—they have a bump-up version of the Vision Pro coming soonish. I mean, we’re talking later this year. But here’s the kicker: they’re also working on AR glasses set for 2028. Yup, you read that right, 2028. Why did I notice this? No clue. It just kinda stuck with me.
Now, about this Vision Pro thing. Kuo’s like, “Hey, there’s a new one coming by 2025 with this fancy M5 chip.” That’s tech talk for “it’s gonna be faster or something.” Sounds cool, I guess? But they’re not changing much else, which he says is intentional. Or maybe I just lost track. Who knows. It’s a bit niche now, they say. Maybe they just need to sell off parts or something.
Look, here’s a pic of what it looks like as of now. At least, I think that’s what I’m seeing. Moving on!
Then there’s this “Vision Air” thing? Supposedly, it’s super light—like, over 40% lighter than today’s headset. They’re talking 600 to 650 grams. What’s that in regular English? Like a loaf of bread minus the crusts? Anyway, it’s got less stuff crammed into it but supposed to be more accessible. Like, not just for tech nerds.
Call me crazy, but there’s also this “Vision Pro 2” expected in 2028. That’s just unreal. It’s all redesigned, cheaper, lighter, the whole shebang. Some kind of major Apple pivot to appeal to the masses, I guess. I mean, they’ve gotta sell this stuff to somebody, right?
Backtracking a bit—Apple’s diving into smart glasses, too. Think Ray-Bans but from Apple. They shoot for 2027 and wanna make millions of these things. Imagining like, Bluetooth shades? Side thought: what’s next, Apple shoes?
Oh, get this—it’s all audio-centered, no display. Weird, right? I mean, Ray-Ban’s playing around with this idea too.
And then, wait for it—the XR glasses thing. With AI built-in. Kuo’s predicting this bits in 2028. Has a real display and everything. Maybe this is finally it? Apple’s grand slam into pure AR tech?
Blah blah, Apple changes plans tons. Rumor had it that they nearly launched something more chilled, like casual XR glasses, but then axed it. Sounds like a mood whiplash to me.
Honestly, it all sounds like one long, strange tech journey. Sometimes these rumors hang together, sometimes they combust spectacularly. Remember, as secretive as Apple is, we’re just piecing together scraps.
Anyway, if you’re into this stuff, it’s worth a gander. Or if you’re like me, just waiting to see what actually comes out of those shiny Apple events. Fingers crossed for something jaw-dropping, or at least fun to watch. Who’s taking bets?
