According to Bloomberg, Apple will announce its first smart glasses – Apple smart glasses – at WWDC in June 2027, letting users interact via Siri AI and a paired iPhone.
Apple is advancing its first smart glasses project, internally codenamed N50. Bloomberg reports the device will be unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference slated for June 2027. The glasses will let users speak to Siri to perform tasks within apps that already exist on the iPhone.
The software foundation is already in place with iOS 27.3, which adds precise voice control for Apple’s native apps and is expected to extend third‑party support next year. Rather than requiring developers to build dedicated glasses apps, Apple simply asks them to enable Siri interactions in their existing iPhone apps, turning the glasses into a visual and audio interface.
A key feature is Visual Intelligence, an AI model that “looks” at the surrounding world and answers contextual questions. Users could point the lenses at a building to get details, or ask for recipe ideas based on ingredients in the fridge. The glasses will also surface iPhone notifications, let users reply to messages, translate conversations in real time, manage calendars, set reminders, control music playback and operate smart‑home devices.
Bloomberg lists several envisioned use cases: making restaurant reservations through OpenTable, booking rides via Uber or Lyft, ordering coffee with a Starbucks integration, shopping on Amazon or buying movie tickets through Fandango. Apple is reportedly developing its own AI agent platform similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Meta’s Muse or Claude Duet, but Siri AI remains the primary interface for the first generation.
Hardware-wise, the N50 glasses will run a stripped‑down version of visionOS 28, the operating system used by the Vision Pro headset. Third‑party apps will not run natively; all processing stays on a paired iPhone, and only recent iPhone models—likely those with at least 12 GB of RAM and a powerful Neural Engine—will be compatible. Wi‑Fi support enables audio streaming when the user walks away from the phone, yet the device is not a standalone unit and offers no Android compatibility.
TechTimes Perspective
TechTimes believes Apple’s decision to embed Siri AI in its first smart glasses could set a new benchmark for voice‑first interaction on wearables, especially given the tight integration with the iPhone ecosystem. While competitors such as Meta and Google are experimenting with similar concepts, Apple’s software depth and large iPhone user base provide a distinct advantage. In Vietnam, a premium‑priced device may appeal to business professionals and early‑adopter enthusiasts, but the lack of Android support could limit broader market penetration.
