Man, so here’s the scoop. You know that Ming-Chi Kuo guy? Yeah, he’s been snooping around the Apple rumor mill again. He’s basically the tech world’s version of that one friend who always knows everyone’s business—except maybe more credible. Anyway, he’s dishing out some wild predictions about Apple’s XR stuff. Like, they’re cooking up these newfangled XR gadgets, and it sounds intense.
First, there’s this whole upgraded Vision Pro coming out, apparently. Imagine this beast with a supercharged M5 chip—yep, that’s what he’s claiming. But here’s the kicker: it’s mostly the same gadget otherwise. They’re just fancying up the insides a bit to keep it from collecting dust on the shelves, I guess. When’s it rolling out? Virtually no sense of urgency—something like 2025. I know, right? Who’s counting the days?
Oh, and this one’s got me thinking: Vision Air. Sounds like a cross between a tech launch and a shoe line. Lighter than its older bro, the Vision Pro—40% less heft, they say. I wonder if it’ll feel like you’re wearing a feather on your face. And they’re talking about it being easier on the wallet too.
Now, here’s where it gets all sci-fi. Vision Pro 2 is on the horizon, or at least it’s peeking over the clouds, set for 2028. New design, lighter, cheaper (well, in Apple terms probably)—all those makeovers that might get people who aren’t super into the tech world to actually care.
Wait, it doesn’t end there. Kuo’s got this wild hunch about Apple delving into glasses that scream smart fashion—something like Ray-Bans but with tech flair. No screens though, just audio—the irony, right? Imagine shades that take pics, play tunes, and make Siri your BFF.
And hold onto your hats—AR glasses! Yep, actual augmented reality. Color displays and AI goodies around 2028 too. Wonder if they’ll be like trying to fit a futuristic spaceship onto your nose or more like… an ordinary pair of specs?
Anyway, pause for a sec. There was a whisper about Apple shelving this casual XR viewer idea they had in mind, probably ‘cause it felt too much like just a fancy pair of shades. Oh well. Maybe it’s all just smoke and mirrors, but who knows—Apple does love their hush-hush routine until they blast us with a big reveal on stage, right? Fingers crossed we get to see these tech toys for real soon enough. And maybe, just maybe, they actually stack up to the hype. Let’s wait and see!
