Apple’s first smart goggles may appear in 2026

The enviable success of the collaboration between Ray-Ban and Meta, which has reached sales of 2 million pieces, seems to lure more and more companies to the segment with stylish, light and affordable smart glasses. Two days after Google’s plans in this direction have clarified, we already have a little more clarity on what Apple’s answer will be.

According to Bloomberg sources., apple She is planning her first Smart glasses for the end of 2026. They will resemble the Ray-Ban and Meta smart glasses, and the models Google showed for his Android XR platform recently.

The debut model of the technology giant is expected to include the possibility of taking photos, recording video, playing music, real -time translation, using the urge, making telephone calls, as well as answers to questions from the wearer.

Unlike the already available Ray-Ban/Meta model, where there is a possibility of using Meta Llama and Gemini AI models, Apple’s smart glasses will only rely on Siri and Apple Intelligence. However, whether this would be a successful move, given the challenges that the company premieres in the development of its AI proposals remains to be seen.

Bloomberg adds that according to an unnamed Apple employee, their suggestion will resemble current Ray-Ban/Meta smart glasses, but will be “done better”. The initial plans of the Cupertino giant include the production of a large amount of prototypes by the end of 2025, which will give the company enough to test and choose the right model to show the world.
