Apple Unveils Smart Glasses Plans for 2027 Release

Your future is about to get a lot more augmented

Apple's foray into the world of smart glasses is finally taking shape. According to reports, the company plans to sell its first smart glasses in 2027, with a possible unveiling at the end of this year. The product will not have any displays, which might come as a surprise given the hype around augmented reality devices. However, users will still be able to take photos and videos using the glasses, answer phone calls, play music, and interact with Siri. Apple is reportedly testing four designs for its smart glasses, including a large rectangular frame and a smaller oval or circular frame. The company is also considering different colors such as black, ocean blue, and light brown. One notable feature of the product is that it will use oval camera lenses. While this might not be the ambitious plan for mixed and augmented reality devices Apple had previously envisioned, it's still an interesting development in the world of tech. As developers, you should keep an eye on how this product affects the market and whether it will have any impact on your workflow or decision-making process.
