Apple’s long-awaited AI smart glasses, expected to launch late next year, finally have an expected reveal date.
WWDC27 reveal
Earlier this year, it was reported that Apple’s AI smart glasses should be available for purchase by the end of 2027. That is still the case, according to today’s report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Now, however, we know that Apple is “currently aiming” to reveal the new glasses to the public at next year’s Worldwide Developers Conference.
The timing of this reveal could be an indication of what’s to come for Apple’s AI glasses. It seems unlikely that Apple would launch a new device at WWDC without also releasing some sort of way for developers to create software for the device. So, the glasses may be able to incorporate data and actions from third-party apps, just like the new Siri AI, rather than being limited to Apple’s first-party features.
If this pans out, it will be very similar to the Apple Vision Pro launch in 2023: the hardware and software were previewed months in advance so that developers could work on creating apps for the platform, and the final hardware was released later.
