Apple targets WWDC 2027 for smart glasses but is still deciding on the camera question

Apple plans to unveil its first smart glasses at WWDC 2027, targeting a consumer release by the end of that year. According to Mark Gurman, the company is prototyping new hardware and software privacy features to distinguish the product from Meta Ray-Bans. Meanwhile, engineering and marketing teams are still deciding if the glasses should include a camera, weighing AI functionality against privacy concerns regarding secret recordings and photo capabilities in the final design.
