Apple Testing Four AI Smart Glasses Designs With Unique Cameras

Apple has multiple smart glasses prototypes in testing featuring distinctive camera hardware and varied frame styles.

Apple is actively prototyping its first smart glasses, and the company isn't placing just one bet. Four distinct designs are currently under evaluation, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

The prototypes span both rectangular and oval frame styles across multiple color options. The standout detail: a camera system built around vertically oriented oval lenses — a design choice that would give Apple's glasses a look distinct from competitors like Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses.

The glasses represent Apple's push into AI-powered wearables beyond the Vision Pro headset. A lighter, more socially acceptable form factor could dramatically widen the addressable market.

Gurman's report also teased fresh details on a foldable iPhone, suggesting Apple has multiple ambitious hardware projects cooking simultaneously. No timeline was given for either product hitting shelves.
