Today’s Apple Insider Roundup
Apple's future smart glasses plan is just part of a larger computer vision play
Apple Glass will be a direct competitor to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, but it will be only a part of a larger three-pronged AI wearable strategy for the company. Here’s what’s coming.
Apple has long been working on its smart glasses, known as Apple Glass. What is anticipated to actually launch will be quite close to what the existing Meta Ray-Bans can already do.
In Sunday’s “Power On” newsletter for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman writes that the Apple Glass will be easily able to handle everyday uses, including photographs and video capture, dealing with phone calls, handling notifications from an iPhone, and music playback.

Since his retirement was announced in 2025, Apple Intelligence head John Giannandrea has been reduced to the role of an advisor, but is now expected to exit Apple Park shortly.
