Via: MacRumors

Apple has reportedly given up on developing its Vision Pro headsets, according to MacRumors. Citing unnamed insider sources, the tech site said the company received an "unusually high" percentage of returns, "far exceeding" any current Apple product. MacRumors noted that only 600,000 units were sold in total.

Even when the company released an updated version of the Vision Pro with a faster M5 chip and a more comfortable band, it failed to capture market interest. The team working on its development have supposedly been transferred to other projects, with the tech giant reportedly pivoting to developing its own version of smart glasses.

We might be seeing faster Apple MacBook Pro models soon. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that the laptops will be refreshed during the macOS 26.3 release cycle, which typically runs from February through March. Gurman noted that launches tend to occur when many models begin selling out. The new rumoured products, codenamed J714 and J716, have reportedly "already been staged in shipping warehouses globally, ready for release."

Gurman said the current premium MacBook Pro models available are already showing shipping delays that stretch through the month and into March, signalling that new models are about to be released soon. "Inventory typically starts to dwindle right before a product refresh, leading to exactly this kind of extended wait time. Several configurations are also out of stock at Apple stores worldwide, I'm told," he said.

Beyond its rumoured first foldable, Apple is reportedly already planning to develop a flip-style foldable next. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman noted that the first foldable iPhone is still several months away, but the company is already thinking about its next-generation device.

Gurman said the product is "far from guaranteed to reach the market." However, the tech giant is betting that the upcoming foldable will drive demand for the category, and it wants to develop additional offerings to cater to different users.
