Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported Sunday that Apple is trialing at least four frame designs for the N50 smart glasses project.
- Prototypes use premium acetate and a distinctive camera layout with vertically oriented oval lenses ringed by indicator lights.
- The display‑free glasses are expected to shoot photos and video, handle calls and notifications, play music, and respond to Siri and Apple Intelligence.
- Reporting points to a reveal in late 2026 or early 2027 with availability in 2027, though the timeline and features could still change.
- Apple is building the frames in‑house and positioning the product as a tight iPhone accessory, a strategy aimed squarely at Meta’s Ray‑Ban models.
