Apple plans to launch smartglasses by the end of 2026 to compete with popular Ray-Ban smart glasses by Meta Platforms.
The smartglasses will have cameras, microphones, and speakers, with features like Siri integration, phone calls, music playback, live translations, and turn-by-turn directions.
Concerns arise regarding AI capabilities of the smart glasses, as Apple has struggled with incorporating compelling AI features in its existing products.
Apple engineers are accelerating development and plan to start producing prototypes with overseas suppliers by the end of this year.
