Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is developing non‑display smart glasses for everyday tasks like photos, video, calls, notifications, music, and hands‑free voice control.
- Apple is said to be designing the frames in‑house with at least four styles in testing and premium acetate finishes in colors such as black, ocean blue, and light brown.
- The camera hardware under consideration features vertically oriented oval lenses with surrounding indicator lights to set the look apart from Meta’s Ray‑Ban model.
- Hands‑free use is expected to lean on a significantly upgraded Siri in iOS 27 and pair with an iPhone rather than work as a standalone device.
- Gurman outlines a broader computer‑vision push that includes rumored camera AirPods and a pendant, and he places a tentative unveiling in late 2026 or early 2027 with release in 2027, all unconfirmed by Apple.
