Apple Plans to Launch Smart Glasses in 2026

Apple plans to launch smart glasses by the end of next year, aiming to diversify its product lineup and boost demand for AI devices. The company will begin producing large quantities of prototypes with overseas suppliers by the end of this year. This move follows a lukewarm public response to its Vision Pro headset, criticized for its high price and lack of AI features. Apple’s smart glasses will compete with Meta’s popular Ray-Ban smart glasses in India. Additionally, Apple has canceled plans to release a camera-equipped smartwatch initially targeted for 2027.
