Apple's Head-Mounted Wearable Products Development

• Apple is developing seven extended reality (XR) headsets and smart glasses across two product groups.

• The first product, the M5-powered Apple Vision Pro, is expected to be launched in Q3 2025.

• Apple is also developing a smart glass competitor to Ray-Ban Meta Glasses.

• The next iteration of the Apple Vision Pro, powered by the M5 chipset, is expected to ship between 150,000 to 200,000 units in Q3 2025.

• The second product, the Vision Air, is expected to begin mass production in Q3 2027, powered by a flagship iPhone processor.

• The XR headset may weigh up to 40% less compared to the Vision Pro, with glass replaced with plastic and sensor count reduced.

• The Vision Air may have a lower price tag than the current XR headset, which retails for $3,499 (roughly Rs. 2,99,000).
