In the technology world, eyes have been turned to Apple’s smart glasses project for some time now. Having made an ambitious entry into the mixed reality field with Vision Pro, Apple is now working on a lighter and more everyday wearable technology product. Recent leaks indicate that this new device will not have a screen but will act as an AI-powered assistant.
What features will Apple’s smart glasses have?
Following examples like Google Glass and Ray-Ban Meta, it was a matter of curiosity how Apple would approach this market. The steps the company has taken with Vision Pro and visionOS are actually laying the groundwork for future augmented reality (AR) glasses. However, it is stated that the glasses Apple will initially release will not have a screen and will be entirely AI-focused.

According to leaked reports, Apple’s new wearable device is positioned as an accessory that will work fully integrated with the iPhone. Here are the expected key features:
- Powerful Processor: A new, energy-efficient processor derived from the S-class chips in the Apple Watch series. Advanced Cameras: A multi-camera system for not only taking photos and videos, but also for “Visual Intelligence” features that perceive your surroundings.
- Apple Intelligence Support: Ability to recognize and analyze the objects you see.
- Siri Integration: Full control with voice commands.
- Built-in Speakers: Built-in sound system for listening to music and communicating with the assistant.
- Health Tracking: Sensors that monitor the user’s health data.
- Stylish Design: Fashion-oriented options to appeal to different styles.
Among these features, the most striking will undoubtedly be the visual intelligence capabilities. The cameras on the glasses will be able to recognize the objects or places you are looking at and provide you with instant information. At this point, the revamped Siri will be at the center of the user experience.
Release Date and Future Plans
Apple seems to be applying its “not the first, but the best” strategy to this product as well. Although it will enter the market later than its competitors, the seamless connection it will establish with the Apple ecosystem will be its biggest advantage. Current rumors point to 2026 for the introduction of the Apple smart glasses model. However, the product may not be on the shelves until 2027.
It’s also rumored that Apple is working on a more advanced version with screens directly in the lenses, following this screenless model. However, for now, the focus seems to be on creating a stylish, AI-powered accessory.
