- The glasses will cost $799 and become available in limited U.S. stores including Best Buy and Ray-Ban on September 30, while Meta aims to produce 10 million pairs annually starting in 2026.
- Meta's smart glasses show rapid consumer adoption with partner EssilorLuxottica reporting a tripling in revenue, suggesting the technology may accelerate AI integration into daily life amid growing competition.
