The future of Apple's rumored smart glasses and the existing Vision Pro headset has become blurrier in recent weeks. Between price hikes, the alleged back-burning of projects and high-level departures, it seems from the outside that Apple's Vision division isn't working.
The most recent potential setback came last week when Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Paul Meade, the vice president in charge of the Vision Pro and glasses efforts, is leaving for OpenAI. Meade is the second Vision executive to leave in the last year after the creator of the Vision Pro, Mike Rockwell, was shifted to overseeing Siri after AI failures in that department.
