Apple’s Next Vision Pro May Come Sooner Than You Think, but With One Big Letdown

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-01-31 04:26:54

It may feel like Apple has given up on its used car-priced “spatial computer,” the Vision Pro, but according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPhone maker’s next-gen headset might arrive a lot sooner than you think, and that price may not be coming down. According to Gurman, an “upgraded” Vision Pro could be released “as early as this year.” The headset will reportedly be aimed at “improving performance” and enhancing “comfort.” Bloomberg says this next iteration of the Vision Pro

I wanted to hate Samsung’s proprietary Galaxy Watch 8 bands, but I can’t

I didn’t expect to care this much about a watch band system, but here we are. With the launch of its newest smartwatches, Samsung has officially streamlined its wearable portfolio, bringing its questionable squircle shape to every model. This also means that all the Galaxy Watch 8 models now feature the brand’s Dynamic Lug system.
