Apple’s second-generation smart glasses, expected to be introduced in 2027, will offer a unique experience for both Mac and iPhone users by running different operating systems depending on the connected device.
As Apple continues its investments in the field of mixed reality, new noteworthy information has emerged about the company’s second-generation smart glasses. According to Bloomberg’s reliable reporter Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter, Apple is designing these glasses to be able to operate in different software environments when connected to a Mac or an iPhone.
Apple’s Ideas for Glasses Are Intriguing
The report suggests that when connected to a Mac, the glasses will be able to run the full version of the visionOS operating system, which is used in the Vision Pro. However, when connected to an iPhone, a lighter and more energy-efficient interface, more suitable for the device’s hardware capacity, will be activated. This approach indicates that Apple wants to create a transition model compatible with the ecosystem before making the glasses a completely standalone device.
It is worth noting that Apple’s first-generation smart glasses were said to be without a built-in screen. In contrast, the second-generation model is stated to complete these perceived shortcomings, offering a more practical and versatile experience.
However, it is also suggested that Apple is even considering canceling this version due to the risk of the device failing. Among the connection methods tested by the company, the wired connection offers the most stable and low-latency performance but is seen as a bulky solution for everyday use. Therefore, Apple is expected to offer wireless pairing with a special connection technology similar to the H2 chip used in AirPods Pro 3 in the final product.
According to Gurman, Apple’s primary goal is to develop a completely independent smart headset in the future that possesses the processing power and software capacity of the iPhone. This would allow users to experience mixed reality without needing any other device. Although there has been no official statement from the Apple front, the second-generation smart glasses are expected to be unveiled around 2027. The role this product will play in the company’s mixed reality strategy after the Vision Pro will become clear in the coming years.
