Apple Is Officially Coming for Meta’s Privacy-Invading Lunch With Its Own Smart Glasses in Late 2027

Apple targets late-2027 launch for smart glasses with AI focus over augmented reality

Apple is targeting late 2027 for its first smart glasses — display-free, AI/Siri-driven, camera+mic+speaker, tethered to iPhone, with Watch-derived chips — potentially unveiled in late 2026. The move signals a strategic deprioritization of Vision Pro in favor of a mass-market wearable that competes directly with Meta Ray-Ban, making smart glasses the next platform bet for AI-native interfaces.
