Apple AI glasses may launch at WWDC 2027

Apple is targeting WWDC 2027 to unveil its first AI-powered smart glasses, with a consumer launch expected by end of 2027.

The glasses are internally codenamed N50; their delay is due to refining privacy features, not hardware issues.

Privacy is the highest priority for the team developing the glasses, aiming to address user concerns about built-in cameras.

Meta's history of privacy controversies has led to public unease and bans on smart glasses in courtrooms, schools, and hospitals.

Apple plans to introduce the glasses to developers first to build an app ecosystem before consumer release.
