Vision Air — Expanding the Future of Spatial Computing

Team,

Today we mark an important moment in Apple’s spatial computing journey. Vision Air has been introduced. It is a lighter, wearable, everyday spatial computer designed to complement Vision Pro and broaden how people experience spatial computing.

Vision Pro continues to lead the market for immersive creation, collaboration, and professional workflows. Vision Air builds on that foundation by bringing spatial computing into the flow of daily life. From education to enterprise mobility to casual entertainment, our platform now serves more moments, more environments, and more people.

Why Vision Air Matters

Vision Air delivers a simple but powerful shift. It is wearable computing that fits into everyday living. It reduces barriers to spatial adoption such as weight, heat, fatigue, and portability without compromising the qualities customers expect from Apple: immersion, performance, and ecosystem continuity.

By enabling learning on the go, browsing in the library, live annotations at a job site, and entertainment anywhere, Vision Air opens a new category: everyday spatial computing.

A Platform Evolution Powered by You

This moment belongs to the teams who made it possible.

  • Hardware Engineering: For architecting a lighter, thermally efficient system without sacrificing capability.
  • VisionOS and Developer Platforms: For building translation pathways and tools, so that experiences scale across devices with less friction, letting developers build once and reach everywhere.
  • Design and Human Interface: For reducing friction in wearability, fitting, and shared use, including our approach to lens flexibility and session comfort.
  • Retail and Operations: For preparing environments where customers can understand Vision Air as a natural extension of their work, study, and play.

To every team member who contributed concepts, prototypes, performance tuning, and testing—including those who lived inside early builds for dogfooding and feedback—thank you. The product is a reflection of your rigor and care.

What Vision Air Means for Our Work Ahead

Vision Air expands our customer landscape.

  • Education now gains scalable classroom use, shared provisioning, and immersive learning.
  • Productivity integrates Mac tethering, virtual displays, and workflow fluidity in motion.
  • Entertainment benefits from expanded app ecosystems, immersive video, and casual use adoption.

Vision Air also strengthens our developer story. With VisionOS, Xcode, and new adaptation pathways, we are creating an environment where developers can focus on interaction and meaning rather than architecture porting. This accelerates high quality content across the platform.

An Ecosystem with Purpose

Spatial computing now exists across a continuum rather than a single device. Vision Pro remains our frontier laboratory for peak immersion and system capability. Vision Air carries that future into everyday life, allowing computing to meet people where they are. Together these products invite more people into spatial computing, foster more learning opportunities, and enable applications none of us have imagined yet.

Thank You

Thank you for the dedication, invention, debate, iteration, and belief that brought Vision Air to life. This milestone belongs to everyone across engineering, platform teams, design, operations, marketing, and retail. We build our best work when we build it together, and Vision Air continues that tradition.

I look forward to what we create next.
