## Key points

- Apple may unveil its first smart glasses at WWDC next June.
- The glasses will lack augmented reality and depend on an iPhone for many tasks.
- Wi-Fi could keep some audio features working when the phone is away.

## Summary

Apple is developing its first smart glasses, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reporting that the company plans to announce them at WWDC next June. The glasses will not include augmented reality features, and Apple is preparing its updated Siri and app controls to help them work smoothly from launch.

Prototypes called N50 run a simplified version of visionOS and use a processor based on older Apple Watch chips. They are expected to rely on an iPhone for many tasks, but Wi-Fi could keep some functions, such as audio playback, working when the phone is out of range. The design priorities include style, privacy and sound quality, with a compact charger that can be used while wearing the glasses; shipments are expected before the end of next year.
