Cupertino, August 12: Apple is taking a new approach to its wearable technology and planning to introduce smart glasses. The iPhone maker is reported to be working on a cheaper version of Apple Vision Pro, which might be announced next year. According to a report, Apple's Vision Group has constantly experimented with two different products after the company introduced the Vision Pro mixed reality headset this year.

Apple's wearable devices are already popular among the people, and this time, the company would take this approach to another level by launching "Apple Smart Glasses". Competitor Meta already offers Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses powered by AI features, and Mark Zuckerberg previously said that the glasses were the ideal way to experience artificial intelligence. According to a report by 9to5Mac, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that Apple was working on smart glasses. Google Pixel 9 Series Launch on August 14: Tech Giant To Launch Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold Smartphones in India From 9 Series; Know What To Expect.

The report mentioned that upcoming Apple Smart Glasses would be launched without displays, similar to Meta's Ray-Ban Smart Glasses. The report mentioned that it was pointed out before that making true augmented reality smart glasses was troublesome due to technical challenges. Therefore, it would take more time for Apple to introduce its new Apple Glasses in the market.

The exact features and specifications of the upcoming Apple smart glasses cannot be known, but the report said that they would be similar to Meta's product. Meta's smart glasses allow users to take photos and videos and offer a voice assistant feature. Integrated with Meta AI,  Mark Zuckerberg's company offers these smart glasses at USD 329 (around INR 28,000). Smartphone Sales in India: About 100 Million Smartphones To Be Sold in Country in Second Half of 2024, Says Techarc Report.

However, nothing can be taken as absolute truth unless Apple confirms the rumours and anticipations. Apple has been planning to introduce new products and focus on Apple Intelligence for a more interactive experience. The tech giant will launch the iPhone 16 series next month and is expected to introduce a foldable smartphone, an improved Mac series with M4 and M4 Ultra chips, a new cheaper Vision Pro, and smart glasses.
