For a long time now, there have been several rumours that Apple is working on smart glasses. Tech fans have been eagerly waiting for the iPhone maker to officially step into the world of AI-powered wearables. Now, a new report has added more weight to the buzz. It suggests that Apple is not only working on the glasses but also aims to launch them by the end of next year.
According to Bloomberg, Apple is currently speeding up development on its smart glasses, which are expected to be a direct competitor to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. The company reportedly plans to start large-scale prototype production later this year with the help of overseas suppliers.

Meanwhile, Apple is also reportedly working on a special chip designed just for these glasses. If all goes according to plan, the company could begin mass production of this chip sometime next year.
