Apple may release cheap glasses for watching movies on iPhone

Apple is "seriously considering" creating an eyeglass-like device that would connect to the iPhone and be used to watch movies on the smartphone, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman said.

"I also keep hearing that Apple is seriously considering a device that will take some of the computing power to the iPhone and serve as a movie accessory," he said.

It would be similar to glasses offered by companies like Xreal.The benefit for Apple is that it would solidify the iPhone as the center of its product ecosystem and offer something that could become a much more popular option than the $3,500 Vision. Pro," he added.

Mark Gurman also touched on Apple's future plans related to the Apple Vision product line. He said Apple is planning a "chip refresh" for the Vision Pro, but didn't say if that would happen in 2025.

Recall that according to Apple's supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to release an updated Vision Pro device in 2025 that will use the yet-to-be-announced M5 chip.

Mark Gurman added that Apple is still working on a cheaper version of the Vision Pro device with "simplified technology," but he did not specify a release date for that product after".
