These glasses will feature a camera, microphone, and speakers for enhanced experiences, such as calls and translations, integrated with Siri. Apple's Vision Products Group leads this project, focusing on innovation in smart wearables. ## Content Apple is gearing up to release its first AI-powered smart glasses by the end of 2026. These innovative glasses are designed to directly compete with Meta's Ray-Ban Meta glasses, incorporating advanced technology such as a camera, microphone, and speakers. The functionalities aim to enhance user experiences with phone calls, music playback, and live translations, all seamlessly integrated with Siri. In a strategic move, Apple has decided to shelve a project for a camera-equipped smartwatch, redirecting its focus on developing these smart glasses and other AI-powered devices. To support these groundbreaking features, Apple is developing new chips, aligning with the increasing competition in the AI-enhanced device market. The Vision Products Group, known for their work on the Vision Pro headset, is at the helm of this project, continuing to innovate and push the boundaries of smart wearables at Apple. While augmented reality features are not anticipated at launch, these glasses are expected to provide a dynamic user interface and engaging functionalities. As Apple positions itself against other industry players, the release of these smart glasses marks a significant step in their commitment to shaping the future of wearable technology. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#apple](https://daily.dev/tags/apple) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/apple-s-ai-enhanced-smart-glasses-scheduled-for-release-next-year-wkzffxng9) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Apple's AI-Enhanced Smart Glasses Scheduled for Release Next Year","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/apple-s-ai-enhanced-smart-glasses-scheduled-for-release-next-year-wkzffxng9","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/apple-s-ai-enhanced-smart-glasses-scheduled-for-release-next-year-wkzffxng9"},"datePublished":"2025-05-23T05:40:24.110Z","dateModified":"2025-05-23T13:41:20.102Z","description":"Apple plans to launch AI-powered smart glasses by 2026, competing with Meta's Ray-Ban glasses.
