Apple Rumored to Release Multiple XR Headsets and Glasses by 2028

Sure, let’s dive into this Apple XR thing. So, there’s this tech whiz, Ming-Chi Kuo, who’s all about spilling the beans on Apple stuff. Apparently, Apple’s cooking up a storm with some new XR gadgets. First off, there’s a beefed-up Vision Pro they’re aiming to drop later this year. And—get this—some AR glasses might pop up in 2028. Yeah, eight years from now. Felt like a lifetime away when I first read it.

Kuo’s been around forever and seems to really know his Apple leaks. Recently, he scribbled a blog about Apple’s XR timeline, all thanks to some supply chain whispers he’s heard. I can almost picture him scavenging for these nuggets of info.

Anyway, he’s saying there’s a fresh Vision Pro using their snazzy M5 chip set for a 2025 launch. And yeah, they’re rolling out quite a few—like 150,000–200,000 units. The only major tweak? That chip gets an upgrade from M2 to M5, but everything else is kind of same old, same old. Sounds like they’re playing it safe… or just stockpiling components. Maybe both.

Oh, there’s also this “Vision Air” thing coming in 2027. Supposed to be way lighter—like, 40% less than the current model. And since I’m not a weight-watcher expert, they say it’s 21.2–22.9 ounces now without the battery. Math anyone? The new one’s packing plastic lenses, fewer sensors, and some kind of top-tier iPhone chip. Can’t wait for another reason to upgrade my phone.

Fast forward to the future-for-real, we have the “Vision Pro 2”. This beast is showing up in 2028, brandishing a Mac-level chip. Could this be Apple’s mainstream move into XR land? Feels bold, but we’ll see.

Let’s not forget Apple’s transitional journey into smart glasses—a sector that’s kinda cool, Ray-Ban-style. A neat sound-first gizmo drops in 2027, planning to roll out 3–5 million units. Quite ambitious, like the team’s got some over-caffeinated mornings.

Apparently, these glasses won’t have displays, just audio playback, some fancy camera functions, Siri-like assistance, and gestures galore. Think Oakley Meta vibe. It’s niche but fun to imagine how this’ll play out in the real world. Who needs screens, right?

The juiciest tidbit? Apple’s XR Glasses rumored for 2028. Full-on color display, AI magic, the whole shebang. Feels like science fiction, but could be a legit future leap if handled right.

There was chatter about a dialed-down viewer device they backtracked on—probably because it didn’t wow anyone. You can’t win ’em all, Apple. Kuo’s got a decent track record, but hey, even the best sources sometimes need a salt shaker handy. Famous last words in tech—wait and see.
