so it's not unknown that apple are creating some apple glasses or iglasses and we would really
love to hear of an eyeglasses 2021 announcement so today i'm going to explain what they do and what
we have heard so far in leaks and what we expect the apple glasses release date and price to be
so if you want to hear the latest gaming news tech news reviews and comparisons
hit that subscribe button followed by the bell so as mentioned we know that apple are very keen
in creating a pair of apple glasses and it's looking likely they will be very ar dependent
so i've decided to create a summary video for all you apple fanboys and girls of everything we know
about the apple glass release date along with what we could expect for the apple glasses price
and also some of those features we will get with those eyeglasses but if you are a massive fan of
apple products hit that like button and let me know what apple products you are planning to buy
in 2021 in the comments as well cheers anyway let's dive in on that latest apple glasses news
apple ar glasses have been a source of speculation for years with patents from apple going back all
the way from 2015 and 2017 detailing ar related software and hardware but it wasn't until around
2019 where apple were really pushing on ar in 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 and 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 there was a real slim chance as well that we could have seen some apple glasses
during 2020 mainly probably at the wwdc 2020 event but nothing was shown in the end we did have our
doubts that any announcement would be made to be fair at the end of the day the industry analyst
ming chai cow initially said manufacturing of any ar specs would get underway at the end of 2019
or the start of 2020 according to money udbn.com noting that they would be reliant on a connected
iphone to do lots of processing and connectivity for the actual apple glasses but we are now
in 2000 2021 with no glasses in sight a research note from cal surfers that say that it had been
pushed back with an estimated release date of 2022 now but before you get too upset that 2022
is a long way away another source has said that while they might not go on sale until then they're
likely to be announced at some point in 2021 the source added that they will apparently be called
apple glass 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 2021 or 2022 followed by ar glasses in
2023. 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 leaks suggest 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 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 you'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 john 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 the 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 that apple was experimenting with a special steve jobs edition version of
the glasses that would act like an apple watch addition 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 explain how specialist lenses could be
used to cast images on a 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 cappucino 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 can family 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
or 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's 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 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 invest in and get let me know below if you plan to get
it of course if we get any more news about the apple glasses we will share it with you but that
