Siri Delays Force Apple to Push Smart Glasses Launch to Late 2027
Apple's smart glasses, codenamed N50, have been pushed back to a late 2027 launch, missing their original early 2027 target. The delay is primarily driven by the still-unfinished Siri 2.0 overhaul, which has become a bottleneck across multiple Apple product lines including AirPods with cameras and smart home devices. The glasses will feature oval cameras, multiple frame styles, and iPhone integration, with Apple targeting the $200 to $500 segment of the $200 billion eyewear market. Unlike the Apple Watch, which arrived early to its category, Apple now faces a smart glasses market where Meta already has significant momentum.
