Apple to Unveil Meta-Inspired Smart Glasses and Camera-Equipped AirPods by 2027:
Apple is preparing to enter a new era of wearable tech with the development of smart glasses and AirPods featuring built-in cameras. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, these innovative products won’t likely hit the market until 2027, and there’s always a possibility they may not materialize at all. Known for its methodical approach to innovation, Apple’s foray into augmented reality and wearables aims to improve user experience through visual intelligence.

Unlike full augmented reality devices, Apple’s smart glasses will integrate cameras, speakers, and microphones to offer practical features without overwhelming users. Additionally, the company is exploring AirPods with built-in cameras, though privacy and practicality concerns will need to be addressed. This move reflects Apple’s ongoing commitment to visual intelligence, which began with the Apple Vision Pro.
If successful, the smart glasses could tap into the growing market for stylish, functional devices, similar to Meta’s collaboration with Ray-Ban. Apple aims to create a seamless ecosystem, with these devices enhancing daily life through cutting-edge technology. Known for its design excellence and user-friendly interfaces, Apple is likely to generate considerable excitement for these products, though they’re still a few years away.
In the meantime, Apple’s October event will feature hardware updates, including new M4 Macs, redesigned Mac mini and 24-inch iMac models, as well as updates to the MacBook Pro lineup. The iPad range, including the entry-level iPad and iPad Mini, is also expected to see new developments, alongside the stable release of iOS 18.1 and advancements in Apple AI.
While Apple’s vision-based products are still in development, their potential reflects the company’s dedication to innovation, paving the way for exciting tech advancements.
