Apple glasses are being created but will we see a 2021 announcement or will we have to
wait a little longer into 2022 for apple to announce and release this most wanted product
today let's do a summary of what the apple glasses release date and price is going to be
and what the apple glass specs will do for us.
So let's jump right in apple are creating some vr and ar devices the vr device at the moment is
being referred to as apple vr but the other device is more to do with ar and at the moment is looking
likely it's going to be called apple glasses today i'm going to be more focusing on the ar
device known at the moment as apple glasses giving you such details such as the release date along
with what we expect the apple glasses price to be and what the apple glasses features will also be
anyway let's dive on in on what we know about the apple eyeglasses so apple glasses have been talked
about a fair bit in the past and we have had leaks and rumors pop up even going back to 2015 and
we've also had some come up in 2017 but it wasn't until around 2019 where apple were really pushing
on ar and all their keynotes and demos and that's why apple is likely to bring out an ar eyewear
project and as the rumor mill released more more early information it looks like it's coming true
very soon just take a look at the ipad pro and the iphone 12 announcements from last year for example
both events talked about the new lidar sensor and you guessed it the sensor is mainly to help with
ar so a dedicated ar device is definitely incoming so we've just had some new apple products like um
the new ipads and also the new iphones and they'll run the new latest version of ios 15 and also
ipad os 15. however again ios 15 is showing more ar abilities like street view ar on your iphone as
you walk around the city or even the new live text feature for example the ability to take a photo or
even just do a live view on your camera and then just point it at some words and then basically you
can copy and paste or even translate or even look up what the words mean and then there's even a new
feature called visual lookup even this is machine learning and the abilities we'd expect to see
in the new apple glasses i think you're getting the point here even with apple's latest software
features and the introduction of the lidar sensor for example as already mentioned in the ipad pro
and the latest iphone pro models apple are doing far more in ar space so apple glasses are close so
how close you may ask well we had a leak from ming chi quo saying that the apple glasses are looking
to be released in the second quarter of 2022 but before you get upset that 2022 is a long way away
it is likely that apple will preview the device before that time for apple to announce the glasses
and then release the product say three or even six months later it's not unheard of either
we saw the mac pro the trash can shaped device announced in june 2013 and it actually came out
five months later and then again the same with the newer mac pro that was announced in june 2019 and
didn't actually come out right to the very end of 2019. other sources meanwhile have said that
they're still coming out but they've been delayed by years with an ar headset apparently landing in
either 2022 or 2023 followed by ar glasses in 2024 so as you can see it's a bit of a mess right now
and there's lots of confusion and debate around when or even if we'll get apple glasses but the
latest leak suggests that they might be announced not too long from now but guessing our actual
hands on them that's going to be a different story entirely so no it's not the news we
wanted exactly here but let's take a look at the apple glasses leaks and rumors as well as apple's
augmented reality background and why ar specs seem like the next big move for the tech giant so then
guys just quickly this channel got over 260 000 subscribers and i announced who the winner was
for this brand new ipad pro m1 and do check out my video on my channel who this ipad pro is going
to but the great news is guys i am doing another giveaway and it is for this it is for a brand new
iphone 13 pro max 128 gigabyte model in the sierra blue and i'm going to be giving this away to
one lucky subscriber when we get over 300 000 subscribers and just like the last giveaway
what i want you guys to do is put down in the comments below of what apple gear you plan to
buy in 2021 or maybe into 2022. also at the same time make sure you subscribe to this button hit
that notification bell because when we get over 300 000 subscribers i will be notifying you guys
or for who the winner is of this brand new iphone and just quickly on that i do want to quickly
comment that if you do get a comment to say that you've won or something else before we hit the
300 000 marker it is probably not me it is most likely a scammer and the best way you can tell
if this is a scam or not is basically open up that person's account by open clicking on their profile
and you'll be able to see how many subscribers they got and if they've got less than 260
000 subscribers like at the time i'm making this video here then basically you will know they are
not me plus also at the same time as well they will probably have hardly any videos uploaded and
also their account will probably be very very new so do ignore these emails or these messages from
these people or what you can do is at the same time you can't actually report them to youtube
but enough of that like i said over 300 000 subscribers is the only time i'm going to be
announcing who the winners of this iphone 13 pro max and that's the only prize i'm gonna be doing
between now and then so make sure you subscribe to this channel hit that notification bell
also at the same time guys if you're liking this video so far please do press the like button well
let's get back to the main video so let's get the next big item cross off the list and that
is the apple glasses price so cesaro suggests that apple glasses will cost around 499 us dollars and
that will be around 410 uk pounds and of course that is not including any prescription charges
to alter the glass lenses if needed so let's talk more about what we've seen in patent and
specs so our biggest leak is none other than our channel favorite john prosser john was the first
to say that apple glasses will actually be called apple glass and will be capable of displaying
information on both lenses with a user controlling vi gestures both on and in front of the frames
jon has also said that everything will be handled by a connected iphone and apple glass supposedly
won't have conventional cameras but will have a lidar sensor to power the actual ar experiences
other details include that there won't be a sunglasses version as the display won't
work with tinted lenses also that outside observers looking at you directly face on
won't be able to see anything on the lenses and also at the same time as well that the
prototype at least will be made out of plastic however this could change for the real deal
prasa also said apple was experimenting with a special steve jobs edition version of the glasses
that would act like an apple watch edition where the company sells a certain style of its product
for a higher price from another source mark german at bloomberg has said that the previous
information isn't correct though so take all of this with a big pinch of salt what john prosser
has just proposed beyond that apple has been busy picking up companies with an interest in ar
which suggests it's prepping its own product and recently tim cook said that apple had several new
products in the pipeline that would just blow you away and i think one of them is apple glass
we've also seen a bunch of apple patents appear recently explaining how specialist lenses could
be used to cast images on the user's eye and how a iphone or ipad could be used as a controller
perhaps the biggest leak was in fact an injury report out of apple's capputino headquarters
and it suggests that two employers had eye injuries due to working on a prototype unit apple
has also made a number of key ar talent hires over the years according to aruma from bloomberg
apple has persuaded a leading employee of nasa for the project in hiring jeff norris founder of
mission operation innovation office at nasa's jet propulsion lab his team is apparently 1 000 people
strong and the ar glasses they're working on are said to be a high quality resolution of cameras
3d scanning and an amazing display and advanced human detection also built straight into them
they're also apparently working on an ar headset which could launch first with a
design like the oculus quest but a lightweight more comfortable build instead in more recent
news in may 2020 apple confirmed it acquired nex vr a startup that produced virtual reality content
from the likes of nba and fox sports while it's unclear how this could impact apple ar glasses
it's logical the startup's expertise will contribute to the product design in some
way so i've been banging on about apple glasses and that they will mainly use ar and some of you
have probably heard of ar but not fully understood what it actually does and have i actually seen it
before so to be honest you probably actually have seen it so some of the most popular examples of ar
are lenses and filters available on instagram and snapchat the ones where for example you stick your
tongue out and the dog's tongue appears over the top of it or your ears change into a dog's ears
all your hearts coming out of your eyeballs or for example if you're doing a video chat and you can
put on a silly hat on top of your head and it follows you around they are all ar experiences
another great example before the days of covert 19 when we could go out and about was pokemon go
where your pokeball and your pokemon could be seen for a combination of through your phone's camera
and the phone screen so with all these possibilities that have become reality in
the last couple of years imagine now if you could slip on some glasses and when you run into say a
train station and your glasses automatically tell you the train times to your destination
right in front of you and it will show you arrows and guys on the floor to get you to the correct
platform on time to catch your train or maybe you say to siri in the middle of a supermarket
how do i make a great chicken curry and then at that moment on your screen straight away it
will show you all the ingredients you need and it will guide you down all the correct aisles to the
right location to pick up those ingredients so you can take them home and make yourself a great curry
i could think of many more examples but i think you have the idea now
now i will say this the idea of ar glasses have been invented before some years ago
this was none other than google glass these advanced smart glasses were tipped to change
everything tech to the way we live by overlaying layers of information onto the real world
but thanks to people not really into this type of tech financial problems and design challenges
they never really fully came out apart from a small number of developers and testers getting
their hands on them although the trouble story of google glass may sound a bit of a failure
it actually taught tech companies a great deal about building ar tech enabled eyewear
and the challenges of bringing a whole new product category to the market it was very soon after that
google pulled the plug on the google glass that apple invested into the ar and the ar kit they
offer right now that's where we've got to today with ar so are you excited about the future of
apple glasses or apple glass will it be a piece of tech you're investing and get let me know below
