Apple is reportedly advancing in the development of its own smart glasses to rival Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses. According to a report by 9To5Google, citing Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the smart glasses are codenamed “N50,” and Apple plans to “infuse” some of its AI-powered features into the device. Beyond smart glasses, Apple is also said to be working on other smart accessories, including AirPods with built-in cameras. 

The report states that Apple plans to launch both devices around 2027.
