New Delhi, October 14: Apple is reportedly preparing to enter the AI-powered smart glasses market to strengthen its position in wearable technology. The company is said to be investing significantly in research and development to create new AI smart glasses. The development of Apple AI smart glasses is seen as a step to compete with Mark Zuckerberg-run Meta. As per multiple reports, Apple is likely to announce its first-generation smart glasses in 2026, and a full commercial release may be scheduled for 2027.

Meta has launched its Ray-Ban smart glasses featuring in-lens displays, available in the US starting at USD 799. Apple’s rivals are taking similar steps in wearable technology.

Apple AI Smart Glasses Features (Expected)

As per a report of Bloomberg, Apple’s upcoming smart glasses are expected to use the Apple Vision Pro operating system, visionOS. The device may run the full version of the OS when connected to a Mac, while switching to a mobile-optimised interface when paired with an iPhone.

Apple’s initial version of smart glasses may not feature in-lens displays. Early models are expected to focus on features like cameras, integrated speakers, AI-powered voice controls, and sensors for basic health tracking. These features will likely enhance user convenience and interactivity.
