Apple Plans AI Smart Glasses Launch in 2027 to Compete with MetaPreviousNext

Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its first AI-powered smart glasses in 2027, aiming to compete with Meta's existing smart eyewear. Unlike Apple's advanced Vision Pro AR headset, these glasses are expected to be lightweight, resembling conventional eyewear with features like cameras, microphones, speakers, and voice interaction for tasks such as photos, translations, and Siri use. Meta recently expanded its smart glasses lineup with more affordable AI-enabled models, maintaining a lead in this emerging market segment.
