APPLE IS THINKING ABOUT A RIVAL TO META RAY-BAN GLASSES

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Apple is reportedly considering developing non-AR smart glasses to rival the Meta Ray-Ban glasses. It was previously renewing its efforts to build augmented reality smart glasses but is now considering less ambitious options. Removing AR features should result in a cheaper bill of materials and less complex development, allowing Apple to bring them to market much faster than AR-equipped specs. Samsung is also working on a pair of smart glasses, expected to be powered by Google software.
