The Verge reports that Apple is planning to reveal its first smart glasses at WWDC next June, with an expected launch by the end of 2027. The company is banking on privacy as a differentiating factor for the device.
If Apple leads with privacy as the differentiator for wearables with always-on cameras and sensors, it likely raises the baseline users expect from any app touching camera, location, or ambient data. For privacy-first builders that's tailwind, but also worth watching whether Apple's on-device framing becomes a de facto requirement for glasses-adjacent apps. The 2027 horizon means nothing to plan around yet, but the positioning signals where App Store review scrutiny may tighten.
