Apple’s N50 Smart Glasses to Feature Upgraded Siri in Challenge to Meta

Smart glasses are emerging as a potential next-generation computing platform, with Meta gaining an early lead through eyewear that combines cameras and artificial intelligence. The ability to capture images around bystanders, sometimes without clear awareness, has fueled privacy concerns. Apple is expected to lean on its long-standing privacy positioning to distinguish its device and build consumer trust in a market where social acceptance may prove as important as hardware performance.

Apple plans to unveil its first smart glasses as early as its Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, according to the report, and is targeting a 2027 launch. Privacy protections are set to be a central product feature, drawing a contrast with controversy around camera-equipped Meta AI glasses. The report did not specify an announcement date, price or initial markets, leaving the commercial timetable and positioning subject to change.
