We plan to continue maintaining the system software with critical bug fixes and security patches until 2024.

Then the wish to compete with Apple may not become a reality: when the Vision Pro was announced, Samsung didn’t expect such cool features from it, so it delayed the announcement of the headset to have the time to increase its capabilities.

A report this week shows how these changes have been quite important: The first version of the “Project Nazare” glasses will be still released in 2024 as originally planned, but it will be targeted only at developers (a bit like today’s Snap Spectacles).
