Zuckerberg likens AI glasses to the iPhone moment, suggesting the transition from smartphones to glasses will mirror the shift from flip phones to smartphones.
The post notes that 1 to 2 billion people already wear prescription glasses daily, and adding sunglasses means the potential market covers almost the entire globe. Meta sold 7 million pairs of Ray-Ban smart glasses last year; their appearance is nearly identical to regular glasses, with AI features being the main differentiator from previous smart eyewear.
