• But this time, the focus has reportedly shifted away from the premium Vision Pro headset line and towards smart glasses that could appeal to a much wider audience.
• According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has revised its AR (Augmented Reality)devices roadmap, with incoming CEO John Ternus approving a strategy that prioritises smart glasses over mixed-reality headsets.
