Apple is actively working on new chips for smart glasses to compete with Google and Meta's offerings, with a potential launch in the next two years.
The smart glasses being designed by Apple will include cameras, microphones, and AI capabilities for features like photo capture, video recording, translation, and Visual Intelligence.
Despite setbacks, Apple's CEO Tim Cook is determined to bring true augmented reality glasses to market before Meta, making glasses a 'top priority' for the company.
Apple is conducting user studies, developing visionOS for the glasses, and continuing work on AR technology, with a potential consumer release around 2026-2027.
