Apple Shifts Focus to AI-Powered Smart Glasses for 2027 Launch

Apple has shifted gears in its smart glasses development. The tech giant has paused work on a cheaper, lighter Vision Pro headset, instead focusing on AI-powered smart glasses to challenge Meta. The first version, due in 2027, will prioritize fashion over display.

The initial Apple smart glasses will not have a built-in display. Instead, they'll offer a range of materials and frame options, positioning them as a stylish accessory. These glasses will feature cameras, AI functions, and microphones, serving health tracking purposes. Apple is accelerating development to rival Meta's Ray-Ban Display AI glasses. A later model will include an integrated display, running on an Apple chip but requiring an iPhone for functionality.
