Apple is working on its own smart glasses, and is targeting a late 2026 release, reports Bloomberg. Apple’s glasses are expected to boast cameras, microphones, and AI features, similar to Google’s recently unveiled Android XR glasses and Meta’s Ray-Bans.
Users of Apple’s glasses reportedly have the ability to record video and take photos. play music, provide turn-by-turn directions, offer translations, answer queries, and provide Visual Intelligence-like feedback on the wearer’s surrounding, and conduct phone calls.
While the glasses will not offer any augmented reality features, Siri will be a big part of the Apple smart glasses experience.

Apple is currently working to improve Siri ahead of the product’s launch.
Work on the smart glasses has stepped up recently, ads it is targeting a late 2026 launch. The company is readying “large quantities” of prototypes by the end of this year.
An Apple employee told Bloomberg that while the company’s smart glasses are similar to Meta’s Ray-Bans, they are “better made.” Apple’s smart glasses will rely on the Cupertino firm’s in-house developed AI models.
