The long-rumored Apple Glass smart glasses will reportedly hit store shelves by the end of 2026, with Apple planning for them to be part of its overall AI push.
Apple’s smart glasses initiative has been repeatedly rumored, with the potential of a simplified form of Apple Glass arriving in late 2026 or early 2027. Now, it seems that Apple is really trying to get the head-mounted devices out in late 2026, and with more of an AI twist.
According to an employee of Apple speaking to Bloomberg on Thursday, Apple is planning to lean towards a release in late 2026, instead of allowing it to slip into 2027.
The version that will arrive at that time won’t be the full-fat Apple Glass experience that has been rumored about, involving augmented reality. Instead, it will be a version that more closely resembles the Ray-Ban Meta eyewear.
