Our take

Reliable reporters say no new Vision headset is coming before late 2028, so there's no successor to wait for. The question is whether it's worth $3,699 (up $200 since June 2026) to you; try it in an Apple Store first.

Research-based: we haven't tested this model ourselves. It's built from Apple's specs, published tests and owner reports.
