On October 13th, according to a recent report by Pembo journalist Mark Gurman, the blogger says:appleThe development of a light-weight version of the VisionPro (Visionair) has been suspended and the focus of research and development has been fully shiftedSmart glasses.
Gurman says that this will be the key shift for apples on the next generation computing platform. As a result of the cold of the visit Pro, apples find it difficult for closed head to become a popular device。
Despite VisionPro’s leading technology, the sale price was as high as US$ 34,499 and its heavy weight, and its application was thin, making it difficult to form an iPhone-scale market size. In contrast, light, day-to-day smart glasses are more in line with the apple "mainstreaming product" philosophy, which is the information we now have:
Smart glasses are expected to run a light version of the visionOS, working with iPhone or Mac。
A light version of the system is run when glasses are connected to iPhone, while a full version of the viewOS is run when you access Mac。
According to current information, it is assumed that the multi-level Vision product line is still being advanced inside the apple: the low end is a blind smart glasses, the middle end is equipped with a screen, and the high end continues to retain the VisionPro。
In fact, apples already reserve a number of technology patents for smart glasses, which include technology patents for content-linking with glasses and iPhone。
Gurman also wrote about apples' smart wear line。
It points out that apples, while slowing the pace of Apple Watch’s upgrading in recent years, have already “profit” “technology accumulation” on the product line。
It's worth mentioning that Gurman predicts that despite the delay of the Apple Watch project with the cameraBut apples will in the future turn Apple Watch into a stronger AI device。
And AirPodsGurman says apples are already working on a new version of the next generation of earphones (presumably the new AirPods Pro)。It was revealed that Apple's chip team was developing an H3 chip designed to reduce delays and enhance the sound quality; at the same time, AirPods 5 was on its way to development。
According to Gurman, apples may not delegate heart rate sensors to AirPods 5, but will add additional health functions, such as temperature testing, to AirPods over time。In addition, in the future, AirPods will be like Apple Watch, and apples are also considering having cameras and turning them into AI devices。
