Apple has reportedly laid off dozens of employees from its Vision Products Group, the team responsible for Vision Pro and visionOS, with early reports putting the number at around 60 and later reporting suggesting the total cuts across Vision, Siri, and related software teams exceed 200 people. The layoffs are being framed internally and by reporters as part of a broader reallocation of engineering and design resources toward Apple's upcoming smart glasses product, internally codenamed N50, which is expected to be unveiled around WWDC 2027 before a later launch. Apple has reportedly told affected teams that Vision Pro and visionOS themselves are not being discontinued, with another headset model still said to be planned as early as 2028, but the sizable staff reduction signals that the product line is being deprioritized relative to where Apple's spatial computing bets are heading next. This matters for anyone building on visionOS or evaluating whether to invest engineering time in Vision Pro-specific experiences: a shrinking internal team on the platform side often correlates with slower first-party feature velocity, fewer new APIs, and less marketing push, even if the hardware line isn't formally killed. It also reinforces a pattern playing out industry-wide, where the AR/VR category is increasingly bifurcating into two distinct product philosophies: expensive, immersive mixed-reality headsets aimed at prosumers and enterprise, versus lightweight, always-on smart glasses aimed at mainstream consumers and positioned closer to a phone-companion device than a standalone computing platform. Apple appears to be betting that the glasses form factor, not the headset, is where mainstream spatial computing adoption will actually happen, mirroring bets already made by Meta with its Ray-Ban lines and by several Chinese hardware makers. Developers who built Vision Pro apps expecting a rapidly growing installed base should treat this as a signal to reassess platform prioritization, and watch closely for what SDKs or APIs Apple opens up for the smart glasses line, since that is likely where new developer opportunity will concentrate over the next two to three years.
