Apple visionOS Job Listings Focus on Smart Glasses, Not Vision Pro Success

Apple's recent visionOS job listings do not signal success for the Vision Pro, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. He says the hardware roles are mostly for smart glasses, and the software positions are for maintenance and glasses support.

Gurman clarifies job postings are for glasses and maintenance.

Gurman has maintained that the Vision Pro is not thriving. Sales of the headset were less than 500,000 units by the end of 2024. Apple slashed the Vision Pro marketing budget by 95% by January 2026.

Apple is working on smart glasses as a successor to the Vision Pro. The company's job postings reflect this shift in focus.

Gurman's comments clarify that the job listings should not be misinterpreted as evidence of Vision Pro's health. Apple has not confirmed the timeline for its smart glasses project.
