Overview
- Meta confirmed its acquisition of AI wearables startup Limitless and folded the team into Reality Labs while halting public sales of the Limitless pendant and promising at least one year of support and data export for existing users.
- Reports based on an internal memo published by The Information say Meta plans to test an AI pendant, expand multiple smart-glass models, and pilot a business subscription called “Wearables for Work,” but those product plans have not been formally announced by the company.
- The company is reportedly targeting sales of 10 million wearable devices in the second half of 2026 as part of the push to scale hardware distribution across more markets.
- Reality Labs posted roughly $402 million in revenue and a first-quarter loss of about $4.03 billion, a financial gap that analysts and the memo say is driving faster productization and experiments with subscription revenue.
- The Limitless pendant records and transcribes conversations to generate summaries and memory aids, which raises concrete privacy and data-stewardship questions to watch as Meta tests the technology and explores paid AI services.
