The rumored “Apple Glasses” will help reshape the smart glasses industry when they finally arrive, according to DigiTimes (a subscription is required to read the article).
For example, the device will help spur the sales of smart glasses, the article adds. Apple is expected to at least preview “Apple Glasses” by the end of the year, and perhaps ship them, as well.
In an October 2025 X post, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple will release its own “smart glasses” in 2027. However, other reports claim Apple is working hard to get then into consumer hands before the end of 2026.
Whenever they arrive, they will have a design more like traditional eyewear than the Apple Vision Pro. Kuo says Apple will ship 3-5 million units or more of the device. He says core features will include audio playback, camera, video recording, and AI environmental sensing. Kue also thinks that Apple will offer multiple material options for frames and temples, with Apple actively testing 3D printing technology for production.
