"Apple is speeding up work on smart glasses that would compete with similar offerings from Meta and halting plans for a lighter Vision Pro headset, Bloomberg reports. The company is apparently working on at least two different versions: a pair without a display that it could reveal next year and launch in 2027, and a pair with a display originally planned for 2028 that the company wants to "accelerate development" on."
"Like Meta's smart glasses made in partnership with Ray-Ban and Oakley, Apple's glasses will have speakers, cameras, come in multiple styles, and "will rely heavily on voice interaction and artificial intelligence," according to Bloomberg. The version of the glasses with a display "could challenge" the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, which have a display in the right lens. Apple is also working on a chip specifically designed for its smart glasses, Bloomberg has previously reported."
Apple is accelerating development of smart glasses and pausing plans for a lighter Vision Pro headset. The company is developing at least two models: a non‑display pair that could be revealed next year and launch in 2027, and a display-equipped pair originally planned for 2028 whose development is being sped up. The glasses will include speakers, cameras, multiple styles, and heavy reliance on voice interaction and artificial intelligence. Apple is developing a custom chip for the glasses. Apple shifted staff from the lighter Vision Pro to the glasses and has scaled back Vision Pro production while planning a modest refresh.
