Apple aims to make its future glasses double as health and fitness devices, says Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The ambition traces back to early Vision Pro development, where Apple tested health features like a Fitness+ companion that tracked form. That project stalled due to technical limits and headset weight.

Apple is carrying this into its smart glasses, drawing a parallel to AirPods, turning earbuds into hearing aids. Sensors could capture movement data for fitness tracking later.

Gurman notes health capabilities will arrive gradually, not at launch. The Vision Products Group is hiring a strategic product design leader to shape health experiences across vision products. Apple smart glasses are expected to launch late next year, potentially unveiled at WWDC.
