Through the looking glass: Apple is facing a dilemma: how can a company that has long prided itself on respecting users' privacy release a product notorious for spying on people – smart glasses? It's something that Cupertino is worried about, which is why its take on the device is reportedly being delayed until late 2027.

Reports that Apple is developing smart glasses go back years now. It was recently revealed that the product, codenamed N50, was set to be introduced this year ahead of its rollout in early 2027.

However, Apple sage mark Gurman writes that the company is postponing the release until late next year while it tries to address the issue of the inherent privacy violations associated with smart glasses.
