Core Insights - Apple has officially suspended the development of a lighter version of the Vision Pro headset and redirected core hardware engineers to focus on smart glasses, aiming to catch up with Meta's lead in wearable imaging and voice AI [1][4] - The first screenless smart glasses are expected to be released in 2026 and launched in 2027, featuring a self-developed dedicated chip, emphasizing voice interaction and multimodal AI [1][4] - The display version of the smart glasses is targeted for an earlier release by 2028, directly competing with Meta's recently launched Ray-Ban Display glasses [1][4] Product Features - The smart glasses will include built-in speakers, cameras, and various frame designs, similar in functionality to Meta's second-generation products, but will deeply integrate Siri and Apple Intelligence for offline wake-up, real-time visual search, and spatial audio calls [4] - The main chip of the glasses will utilize TSMC's 4nm process, resulting in a 75% reduction in power consumption compared to the Vision Pro's main control unit, allowing for all-day wear [4] Engineering and Production Adjustments - Apple has reassigned approximately 20% of mechanical and sensor engineers from the Vision Pro team to the smart glasses project [4] - Production of the initial Vision Pro will continue to be reduced, maintaining only one assembly line for a "moderate upgrade" version, expected to be released by the end of 2025, focusing on M3-level computing units and longer battery life, with minimal changes to the appearance [4]
