Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared a projected roadmap for Apple's Vision series and smart glasses, outlining expectations from 2025 to 2028. According to Kuo, Apple plans to launch multiple new products starting in 2027, with no new headsets expected in 2026.

The tech giant sees wearable headsets as the next major trend in consumer electronics. Currently, Apple is developing at least seven projects, including three Vision series products and four smart glasses models. While development timelines for five projects are confirmed, two remain undecided.

Among Apple's headset products, smart glasses similar in style to Ray-Ban are anticipated to be the first to ship in large quantities. Predictions estimate shipments could reach between three to five million units or more by 2027.
