Apple is speeding up work on smart glasses that would compete with similar offerings from Meta and halting plans for a lighter Vision Pro headset, Bloomberg reports<\/a>. The company is apparently working on at least two different versions: a pair without a display that it could reveal next year and launch in 2027, and a pair with a display originally planned for 2028 that the company wants to \u201caccelerate development\u201d on.<\/p>\n

Like Meta\u2019s smart glasses made in partnership with Ray-Ban and Oakley, Apple\u2019s glasses will have speakers, cameras, come in multiple styles, and \u201cwill rely heavily on voice interaction and artificial intelligence,\u201d according to Bloomberg. The version of the glasses with a display \u201ccould challenge\u201d the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, which have a display in the right lens. Apple is also working on a chip specifically designed for its smart glasses, Bloomberg has previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for the lighter Vision Pro headset, Apple had been rumored to launch the product in 2027<\/a>, but the company told staff that it was pulling people from that headset to help with the glasses. Apple has reportedly scaled back production<\/a> of the original Vision Pro, but regulatory filings spotted this week revealed that a new version is in the works<\/a>, which Bloomberg called a \u201cmodest refresh\u201d that could launch \u201cas early as the end of this year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is speeding up work on smart glasses that would compete with similar offerings from Meta and halting…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":270625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[239,705,340,50,242,158,67,132,68,729,3075],"class_list":{"0":"post-270624","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-gadgets","10":"tag-meta","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-tech","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-virtual-reality","18":"tag-wearable"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115301946040606275","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
