Apple Vision Pro

Apple has reportedly back-burned its expensive, heavy Vision Pro headset in favor of two different smart glasses. Supply chain analysts have claimed the Meta Ray-Ban-esque Apple Glasses will launch in 2027, while an XR version might debut in 2028 or 2029. "I expect Apple to be a player in AI wearables one way or another," Greengart told Tom's Guide. Everyone I spoke with agreed that Apple Glasses seem to be the next step; it's just unclear what direction Apple wants to take them. Though any glasses will likely be more consumer-friendly and cheaper than the Vision Pro. If Apple gets glasses cor

Snap's been working toward this goal for years, but Spiegel sees recent advances as helping make it possible now: battery life, for one. And size. The new Specs are still big and relatively heavy. They co

Part of Snap's Specs announcement included a new global campaign the company calls Specs Visionary. It involves celebrities like Jack Harlow, Imogen Heap, Kaia Gerber, Hoyeon and Jimmy Butler "exploring how Specs can unlcok new forms of creativity, expression, learning, and play." What that entails was left vague and Snap promised more information later this year. However, it also gives us a small look at how these AR glasses look on person. Notably, compared to the developer glasses we tried, the Specs do look much slimmer, especially around the lenses. However, I recall the arms of the glass
