Apple’s smart glasses are delayed to June 2027.

The company is using the extra time to refine the glasses’ features and messaging around privacy.

It could offer more privacy features than Meta Ray-Bans or the upcoming Samsung smart glasses.

Apple has been working on smart glasses for a long , long time now. While the company was originally expected to announce its entry into the market this year, it has since been delayed to early 2027 . Now, a new Bloomberg report gives us some insight into why Apple could be delaying its smart glasses.

According to the report, Apple’s primary concerns with its upcoming smart glasses aren’t just features or Siri integration (though those will be important), but the privacy aspect of its glasses. So far, Meta Ray-Ban glasses are the de facto standard camera-equipped smart glasses, and the privacy implications of those glasses are known far and wide.
