Meta to launch camera-less smart glasses at Connect as privacy backlash grows
Scobleizer · x · 2026-09-21
The Information reports Meta will launch cheaper smart glasses without a camera at Connect, as backlash mounts: the white recording LED is hard to notice outdoors, a gray market exists for physically removing it, and even at Meta's claimed <0.1% tamper rate that's 10,000 units of 10M+ sold. Some gyms now ban smart glasses. Scobleizer expects the new model won't be open but will still sell like hot cakes.
