Apple launches its smart glasses: when they will be released and what features they will have

Apple is preparing its entry into the smartglasses market with a model that will aim to compete directly with Meta's glasses.

According to recent leaks, these glasses won't resemble the Vision Pro, but will have the classic look of regular glasses. They will be lightweight, functional, and with strong integration of artificial intelligence.

When will Apple's smartglasses be released?

Journalist Mark Gurman, known for his insights on Apple, reported that the launch will be at the end of 2026. The development is already underway and is part of a broader plan for the brand's technological diversification.

In addition to the glasses, Apple is working on a foldable iPhone, home devices, and even robotics projects. But undoubtedly, the smartglasses are one of the most anticipated launches.

What will Apple's smartglasses be like?

They will look like conventional glasses, without the bulk of the Vision Pro or virtual reality headsets. Their design aims to be closer to the Meta Ray-Ban.

Apple's smartglasses will include:

• Cameras, microphones, and integrated speakers.
• Voice commands with Siri.
• Music playback and call handling.
• Geolocation for walking navigation.
• Augmented reality as a main feature.

Artificial intelligence will be key in the experience

Apple is developing its own AI environment called Apple Intelligence, which seeks to maximize the evolution of Siri.

This technology will be essential in the glasses' operation. Many of its functions will depend on the intelligent processing of commands and data in real time.
