Apple may delay the launch of its upcoming AI glasses, currently targeting a June unveiling, due to privacy concerns that have emerged around similar products like Meta's smart glasses. The company is working to refine its privacy message and develop features to address these issues.
“Mark Gurman says that Apple may delay the launch of its AI glasses partially over privacy concerns raised by Meta's smart glasses, which of course created this category.”
“Apple is currently aiming to unveil its first smart glasses at next June's Worldwide Developers Conference ahead of a consumer release by the end of 2027.”
“One reason for the delay is that Apple's engineering and marketing teams have been working to refine not only the product but also the company's privacy message.”
