Apple Is Preparing Its First Smart Glasses as Early as 2027 — Bloomberg
The American technology company Apple plans to unveil its own smart glasses in the summer of 2027 during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. The new device is set to be the company’s next step in the development of wearable technology and augmented reality.
The company plans to make the new product available to customers by the end of 2027.
This timeline indicates that Apple wants developers to start creating apps for the new device.
At the same time, this creates another challenge: the need to address growing privacy concerns related to smart glasses equipped with artificial intelligence and built-in cameras.
The company originally planned to unveil the glasses, codenamed N50, at the end of this year, with their launch scheduled for early 2027.
One reason for the delay is that Apple’s engineering and marketing teams are working not only to refine the product but also to address privacy concerns.
The cameras built into the glasses are designed to be inconspicuous. They are more like a hidden camera—something that could record people without their permission, according to Bloomberg.
As a reminder, Google is expanding the capabilities of its AI assistant, Gemini Spark.
