Apple has reportedly laid off an entire team focused on virtual reality development. This move comes as the company shifts its priorities within its spatial computing division. The restructuring suggests a temporary pause on the VR category, with a new focus on AI and smart glasses. While the VR team has been significantly reduced, work on future iterations of the Vision Pro and smart glasses is expected to continue. This indicates a strategic recalibration rather than a complete abandonment of the VR/AR space.
