AI Summary
Apple is developing smart glasses set to debut at WWDC in June 2027, with availability by end of year — a delay from the original early 2027 target. The company is focusing on addressing privacy concerns, particularly in light of backlash against Meta's smart glasses. Apple plans to emphasize privacy-friendly features including on-device processing, no facial recognition, and avoiding the use of customer recordings for AI training.
As Apple prepares to launch its first smart glasses, the company may also be wrestling with how to address consumer privacy concerns.
