Apple’s smart glasses are running late because they don’t want to stir a privacy storm
- Apple has delayed its upcoming smart glasses, codenamed N50, until 2027, with the device now scheduled for unveiling at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2027 and consumer release by year-end.
- Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman stated that developers within Apple's Vision hardware group view privacy as the top priority, driving the company to prototype "new hardware and software-related privacy features not available on current products."
- To ensure privacy, Apple is testing devices where cameras only feed data to AI tools rather than recording video, while considering glasses without cameras entirely and software protections similar to Meta's tamper-detection systems.
- These precautions follow privacy battles involving Meta and its AI glasses, recently named in a class action lawsuit, as Apple intends to avoid using customer recordings to train AI models unlike competitors.
- By emphasizing on-device processing and excluding facial recognition, Apple aims to align this new hardware category with its long-standing reputation for protecting consumer data in a growing smart glasses market.
