The year 2025 has already been monumental for Apple, with major launches like the upgraded M3 iPad Air and the much-anticipated iPhone 16e. But the innovation wave does not end there. According to reports, Apple is now racing to get a brand-new product onto the shelves: its long-rumored AI-powered smart glasses.
Project N50: Smart Glasses With Apple Intelligence
As revealed in Mark Gurmans latest PowerOn newsletter, the upcoming device, codenamed N50, will integrate Apple Intelligence into a new, lightweight form factor. While still early in development, the concept aims to create glasses that can analyze the wearers surroundings and deliver real-time information, enhancing daily experiences without plunging fully into augmented reality.
Gurman clarified that while the glasses will offer smart features, they will not attempt to replicate the immersive augmented reality experience seen in devices like the Vision Pro. This design choice suggests a more practical, everyday wearable, likely appealing to a broader audience.
A More Accessible Price Point
One of the most exciting aspects of the new smart glasses is the expectation of a much more affordable price compared to the Apple Vision Pro. The Vision Pro, with its hefty cost, remains out of reach for many consumers. In contrast, these smart glasses are being developed to offer cutting-edge technology at a price point that will be easier to stomach.
Part of a Bigger Push for Smart Wearables
Apple’s smart glasses project is part of a broader strategy to expand its wearable technology ecosystem. Gurman also mentioned a new pair of AirPods equipped with cameras, highlighting Apples strong commitment to innovating beyond the iPhone and iPad.
As Apple continues to push the boundaries of wearable technology, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year. If the N50 project comes to life as expected, it could mark the beginning of a new era of AI-powered personal devices, bringing futuristic experiences closer to everyday reality.
