Apple engineers are said to be “ramping up” work on the glasses ahead of their launch. The iPhone maker is expected to start producing large quantities of prototypes later this year. Apple reportedly plans to launch the glasses at the end of 2026, but Bloomberg’s sources cautioned that the project could still be scrapped.

Apple Inc. is aiming to release smart glasses at the end of next year as part of a push into AI-enhanced gadgets, but it has shelved plans for a smartwatch that can analyze its surroundings with a built-in camera.
