Google recently made waves by showcasing a set of lightweight smart glasses featuring deep Gemini integration and an optional in-lens display.

Apple intends to release a pair of smart glasses by late 2026. These glasses will be similar in function to Meta’s Ray-Ban models and the Android XR glasses recently unveiled by Google.

Apple plans to release smart glasses at the end of next year, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, in the iPhone maker's latest push to diversify its product lineup and boost demand for its artificial intelligence devices.
