Apple cancels plan for Mac-connected AR Glasses

Published

Apple has reportedly canceled a project aimed at developing affordable augmented reality (AR) glasses that would connect to a Mac. These glasses, known internally as N107, were designed to resemble regular eyewear but with built-in displays, requiring a constant connection to a Mac for processing power and battery life.

The N107 project was intended to offer a less expensive alternative to the Apple Vision Pro, which is priced at nearly $3,500. The glasses featured projectors to display content directly in the user’s line of sight, enabling work in an augmented digital environment. This feature is already present in the Apple Vision Pro, particularly through ultra-wide Mac display mirroring, which is considered a significant advantage of the device.

Initially, developers hoped the N107 glasses could pair with an iPhone. However, the high processing demands led to rapid battery depletion in iPhones. Switching the connection to a Mac provided better performance and battery support, but this solution did not meet executive expectations during evaluations.

Members of the Apple Vision Products Group expressed concerns about the project’s unclear direction, fearing it lacked focus. These concerns were validated when Apple decided to terminate the project in late January. Meanwhile, Meta Platforms continues to develop its AR Ray-Ban smart glasses, aiming for a 2027 release. Apple is reportedly still working on a direct successor to the Apple Vision Pro.

This cancellation follows other recent project terminations at Apple. In February 2024, the company ended its secretive Apple Car initiative, known as Project Titan, which employees had dubbed a “Titanic disaster.” Additionally, Apple reportedly scrapped plans for a separate iPhone hardware subscription service, possibly because the existing iPhone Upgrade Program already fulfilled that role.
