By The much-anticipated Apple Glass, an augmented reality (AR) eyewear project, remains under development. Although Apple continues to invest effort in this endeavor, recent updates indicate it will be a considerable time before they become available for purchase.
This update follows analyst Mark Gurman’s revelation that Apple’s AR smart glasses development is still in its initial phases. While some predicted a release by 2026 or 2027, Gurman indicates that even internally, Apple doesn’t anticipate the glasses being ready that soon. The company seems focused on tackling technical challenges such as battery life, miniaturization of advanced hardware, and optimizing user experience. Speculations suggest Apple may be investigating features like enhanced AirPods with integrated health sensors and sophisticated AI capabilities, possibly designed to complement the glasses.
Despite the prolonged timeline, Apple’s dedication to the AR domain is clear.
