Understand this story
On October 24, 2026, 9to5Mac author Ben Lovejoy offered a judgment, arguing that Apple Glasses will only sell to people who already have a habit of wearing glasses. Based on his experience with the Ray-Ban Meta and Even Realities G2 smart glasses, he pointed out that Apple Glasses have limited appeal for people who do not wear glasses. According to his description, the first generation is expected to be released next year, with no display and only audio output, and the camera used only for Visual Intelligence; the second generation will have a display, with navigation and translation being the most practical scenarios, but the frequency of demand is not high. On this basis, he judges that people who wear glasses and have a sufficient budget may want the second generation, while those who do not wear glasses will be hard to persuade. At present, this judgment remains the author's personal opinion, and there are no subsequent factual developments.
