Apple may scrap its cheaper Vision Pro – and you can blame AI

According to a report from The Elec cited in the article, Apple may be shifting focus away from a cheaper Vision Pro headset toward AI-powered smart glasses. Samsung is reportedly winding down work on a new glass-substrate micro-OLED display being developed for a lower-cost Vision headset, often referred to as the Apple Vision Air, with the project likely to end in September after discussions about shutting it down began earlier this year. The display was expected to help reduce the headset’s price, with previous reports suggesting the cheaper model would use lower-resolution panels than the current Vision Pro. The report does not blame the display technology itself but claims Apple is prioritizing AI-powered smart glasses over another mixed-reality headset, marking a strategic shift. However, the article notes that The Elec provides no evidence Apple has officially cancelled the cheaper headset, and Samsung plans to continue developing similar lower-cost micro-OLED panels for its own XR products.
