Apple Glasses Reportedly Launching in 'Late 2027' With...
Apple has delayed its N50 smart glasses to late 2027, pushing back the original early 2027 launch timeline, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Development of the N50 remains stalled by the revamped Siri 2.0, which has consistently delayed products across the company's roadmap, while CEO Tim Cook views these wearables as his top priority before passing leadership to John Ternus.
Designed to compete in the $200 to $500 eyewear range, the glasses will feature oval-shaped cameras and multiple frame styles, though Gurman does not expect an augmented reality display unlike Meta's Ray-Ban Meta.
Vision Air, a lighter version of the Apple Vision Pro, is now expected to arrive in late 2028 or 2029 as the company reallocates resources to this successor to the $3,499 headset.
Beyond immediate hardware goals, the company aims to capture the $200 billion global eyewear market, believing the glasses could eventually evolve into a health device incorporating augmented reality to improve how people see.
Initially scheduled to be presented in the last part of this year, the first pair of smart glasses developed by Apple would have been postponed until the end of next year.
