Apple plans to sell its first smart glasses in 2027, with a possible unveiling at the end of this year, according to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a>.<\/p>\n Gurman has been reporting steadily on the evolution of the company\u2019s smart glasses strategy<\/a>, but now he has more details about how they\u2019ll look \u2014 he said Apple is testing four designs, and could ultimately launch with some or all of them.<\/p>\n Those designs reportedly include a large rectangular frame, a slimmer rectangular frame (similar to the glasses worn by CEO Tim Cook), a larger oval or circular frame, and a smaller oval or circular frame. Apple is also considering different colors including black, ocean blue, and light brown.<\/p>\n In some ways, these glasses are a step back from an ambitious plan that once called for Apple to launch a variety of mixed and augmented reality devices \u2014 a plan that already stumbled with product delays and the lackluster reception of the Vision Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n These glasses, meanwhile, sound closer to the Meta\u2019s Ray-Ban glasses<\/a>. They won\u2019t have any displays, but will allow users to take photos and videos (Apple is reportedly oval camera lenses), answer phone calls, play music, and interact with the long-promised Siri upgrade<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
