Apple to Unveil Siri Smart Glasses at Next WWDC, Gurman Says

Apple's first smart glasses will be unveiled at the next WWDC and reach stores by the end of 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman as reported by 9to5Mac.

Prototypes are "slightly thinner than Meta's second-generation Ray-Ban glasses," with cameras "housed in oval-shaped openings that sit flush with the frame," 9to5Mac's Michael Burkhardt writes. A front-facing light signals when the glasses are in use or charging.

The pitch is Siri, not optics. The device will "largely serve as an iPhone accessory," with Wi-Fi standing in "if an iPhone isn't nearby." No in-lens display is planned for this generation. Apple's argument against Meta is third-party reach: "Starting with iOS 27.3 beta, Apple is finally laying the groundwork for proper third party app integration within Siri," Burkhardt writes, and the expectation is that "by the time the glasses release at the end of next year, there should be a plethora of third-party integrations to utilize."

That bet runs into Siri's own track record. Apple just shipped a HomeView smart display while skipping Siri's new AI features in the EU, and its promised full Siri overhaul has already slipped more than once. The reporting is single-sourced for now.
