What happened
A 2027 debut for Apple’s smart glasses was first established by Road to VR, which pinpointed the company's annual WWDC event as the intended unveiling window. The report indicates a subsequent release for the hardware is planned for late 2027.
Concerns regarding potential privacy threats associated with the wearable technology have shifted the timeline, according to Engadget and CNET. TechCrunch and Lifehacker emphasize the technical and social hurdles the company faces in rendering the glasses less intrusive to the public.
