- He says the market has been studied since its inception, but he is increasingly convinced it will not go mass-market for a very long time.
- The quoted MacRumors report says Apple is planning to unveil privacy-focused smart glasses at WWDC 2027.
- The post is less about a product launch than about the gap between a long-running industry bet and real consumer adoption.
