Apple looks to the future with N50 smart glasses: AI always at your fingertips | Meta WhatsApp API | Meta Business | Meta AI Europe | Turtles AI

Apple is working on a new wearable device, the smart glasses codenamed N50, which will integrate advanced AI capabilities to offer an innovative user experience. Expected for 2027, these glasses will be positioned as direct competitors to the Ray-Ban Meta, focusing on a minimalist and lightweight design, similar to that of current sunglasses, but enriched with microphones, speakers, cameras and intelligent sensors.

Key points:

• Apple is developing smart glasses with AI, codenamed N50, expected for 2027.
• The device will offer visual intelligence capabilities, analyzing the surrounding environment to provide contextual information.
• Similar design to the Ray-Ban Meta, with attention to privacy and the discreet integration of cameras and sensors.
• Apple is aiming for a competitive price, potentially under $1,000, to appeal to a wide audience.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is accelerating development of its N50 smart glasses, which are an intermediate step toward its ultimate goal of augmented reality glasses similar to the Vision Pro, but more affordable and AI-focused. These glasses will use the capabilities of "Apple Intelligence," an AI system that analyzes the surrounding environment to provide useful information to the user, such as details about places, objects or events, without the need for full augmented reality.

Apple places a strong emphasis on privacy, a central theme in the development of wearable devices. Unlike Meta, which uses data collected from its glasses to train its AI models, Apple takes a more conservative approach, avoiding the use of personal user data to train its models and using techniques such as differential privacy and synthetic data to improve its AI capabilities without compromising user safety.

The price of Apple’s smart glasses has not yet been announced, but it is speculated that the company could aim for a price below $1,000 to make them competitive in the market and accessible to a wider audience. This positioning could allow Apple to recoup some of its R&D investments and consolidate its presence in the smart wearables sector.

With the introduction of the N50 smart glasses, Apple is preparing to enter a new market segment, combining elegant design, advanced AI capabilities and a strong commitment to user privacy.
