Apple's Smart Glasses Pushed Back, Giving Meta Even More Time To Lead

Summary

Apple's entry into the smart glasses market has been delayed, with the wearable device now expected to launch closer to the end of next year. This delay gives rival Meta more time to consolidate its lead in the category, as it is already shipping its smart glasses globally. Apple's biggest advantage lies in how well its glasses will integrate with the iPhone, which could make it difficult for Meta to attract users from Apple's ecosystem.
