🔧 Prototype Production Starts Soon
Apple is gearing up to build prototypes by end of 2025.
🛠️ Insiders say the device will be “better made” than Meta’s—but follows a similar concept.
⚠️ Apple’s AI Struggles
Internally, there’s worry…
🤖 The glasses depend on Google Lens and OpenAI, not Apple’s own AI.
😬 That’s a red flag in today’s AI-first market.
🪓 Other Projects Cut
To focus on smart glasses, Apple is reportedly ending development of its camera-equipped Apple Watch.
🔁 All eyes now on eyewear.
📉 Why This Matters
Apple’s usually a leader in hardware.
But now?
