Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses have been an unexpected success, selling two million pairs since launching in late 2023, with Meta planning to produce 10 million a year by the end of 2026. Now Apple is preparing to enter the smart glasses market with a product of its own.
Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Apple engineers are working on a new pair of smart glasses that could be released at the end of next year. Prototypes are expected to be ordered (in bulk) soon for testing. Apple is also reportedly working on a powerful chip for the glasses that could differentiate them from the competition in sheer processing power.
