Will Apple's Smart Glasses Come With a Ring Light Around the Camera?

The glasses are expected to use computer vision to improve Siri’s responses and will come in multiple frame styles, Bloomberg reported.

  • Apple is preparing to enter the smart glasses space with an AI-powered wearable internally referred to as N50, which could launch as early as the end of 2026 without a display.
  • Development of this concept began around 2022, with Apple designing durable acetate frames in at least four styles, including slimmer rectangular frames resembling those worn by Apple CEO Tim Cook.
  • According to Bloomberg reporter Gurman, "One notable detail under consideration is the camera system: vertically oriented oval lenses with surrounding lights," a design distinguishing Apple from Meta's circular lenses.
  • Users will likely capture photos and videos, make phone calls, and interact with Siri hands-free, while the glasses use computer vision to deliver contextual responses for navigation and visual reminders.
  • These glasses are part of a broader AI wearables push from Apple that includes new AirPods and a camera-equipped pendant, while Google, Samsung, and Meta pursue their own smart eyewear efforts.
