Apple plans to release smart glasses in 2027 after shifting focus from a second-generation Vision Pro, according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. The company has allocated resources to develop the spectacles, which may be announced in 2026 to allow developers time to prepare applications. The first model will lack an augmented reality screen, but users can make calls and take photos without using their iPhones.
Apple secured more than half of TSMC's 2-nanometer chip production capacity to power the glasses. The advanced manufacturing process offers 10 percent better performance and 20 percent improved efficiency compared to the current 3-nanometer technology. This chip could prevent overheating and weight issues that previously made the device impractical. A second version with AR capabilities may follow, though the company has not announced a timeline.
