Apple's interest in AI models and their applications in spatial computing shows no signs of slowing down, even as some claim the Apple Vision Pro is dead. In April 2026 , it was argued that the Apple Vision Pro was an outright failure and that, as a result, we'd never see a successor product. That rumor, though it always seemed unreasonable, has since come into question . Even though the company's Vision Products Group may have seen some changes, there's ultimately still hope for a new generation of the Apple Vision Pro. Apple's AI research suggests the company hasn't abandoned its spatial-related projects. On the contrary, new studies posted on the Apple Machine Learning blog explore the use of LLMs in sign language annotation, 3D head modeling, and more. Apple's researchers also developed a new benchmarking system to evaluate the spatial-functional intelligence of LLMs.…
