Apple recently abandoned plans to develop augmented reality glasses, attributed to unsatisfactory performance during testing by executives and constantly shifting feature requirements. Initially wanting the devices powered by iPhones, the phones lacked adequate processing capacity and drained battery life. The AR glasses aimed for everyday use, were lighter than the Vision Pro, and incorporated features such as tint-changing lenses to signal user engagement. Despite halting this project, Apple continues to explore AR technologies and is focused on releasing a successor to the Vision Pro in future.
Apple’s intent for the AR glasses was to create a device suitable for everyday use, but the project faced issues in performance and feature clarity.
The AR glasses underwent constant changes, leading to a lack of focus, and employees voiced concerns about their usability and direction.
Despite cancellation, Apple remains committed to future AR developments and is investing in technologies used in the scrapped glasses.
While lighter than the Vision Pro, the glasses were still hindered by processing limitations when originally intended to be powered by the iPhone.
