Apple’s Plans for AR Glasses Evolve

Apple may have temporarily put on hold its plans for Mac-tethered augmented reality glasses, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s done with AR glasses altogether. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who previously reported that Apple was working on Mac-connected AR glasses but ultimately shelved the project, the company’s long-term goal of standalone AR glasses remains intact.

Taking a Slower Approach

Rather than creating a "stopgap product" that would need to be connected to a Mac, the team is taking a slower, more cautious approach. Instead of developing a standalone device immediately, they are focusing on building the underlying technology, such as screens and silicon, that will make a standalone AR glasses device work.

The Future of AR Glasses

As previously reported, the AR glasses Apple is rumored to be developing would not be another headset-style device like the Vision Pro, but would likely take a form more like the Xreal One, which resembles regular glasses. This approach would allow Apple to create a more natural and user-friendly experience for its customers.

Apple’s AR Vision

By focusing on building the underlying technology and taking a more cautious approach, Apple is ensuring that its AR glasses are developed with the highest quality and accuracy. This approach will also allow the company to stay ahead of the competition and deliver a device that meets the highest standards of the industry.

Conclusion

While Apple may have put on hold its plans for Mac-tethered AR glasses, its long-term goal of standalone AR glasses remains intact. By taking a slower and more cautious approach, the company is ensuring that its AR glasses are developed with the highest quality and accuracy, and will likely deliver a device that exceeds customer expectations.
