Apple swaps headsets for glasses

Apple just killed its “budget” Vision Pro (codename N100, planned for 2027) and is pivoting hard into smart glasses — racing to catch up with Meta’s Ray-Bans. Two products in the works: N50 — glasses without a display, paired with iPhone. Announcement in 2026, launch in 2027. Glasses with a built-in display — development now accelerated to compete with Ray-Ban Display. Expect a new chip optimized for AI + voice, cameras, speakers, and health sensors. The real star? A revamped Siri, set to debut in March. A minor Vision Pro refresh with a faster chip will still land, but Apple admits the first headset was “over-engineered” and flopped. The future is glasses.
