So more AR abilities were shown at wwdc 2021 with ios 15. so could we be finally seeing
when the apple glasses release date and price will be well today i'm going to share what
the apple specs will do how they will work and when we expect to get our hands on them
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 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 we just had wwdc 2021
but there was also a small slim chance that we could be seeing the apple glasses at this event
but nothing was shown in the end 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
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 iphone 12 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 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 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 one more thing i'd like to quickly talk about is the giveaway that we are
doing on this channel right now and it is for this is for a brand new macbook pro m1 and that's right
guys i'm going to be giving away this macbook pro m1 to one lucky subscriber when we get over
200 000 subscribers and all you need to do in the comments below is write what your favorite ios 15
feature is even if you even downloaded the beta let me know what feature you'd love to try out and
then just put them in the comments below and then when we get over 200 000 subscribers i'm going
to be revealing who the winner is of this macbook pro m1 but make sure you subscribe to the channel
and hit that notification bell because when we get over 200 000 subscribers you all want to get that
notification to find out if you're going to be the lucky winner of this brand new macbook pro m1
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 via gestures both on and in front of the frames jonas 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 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 a user's eye and how a
iphone ipad could be used as a controller perhaps the biggest leak was in fact an injury report out
of apple's cappuccino 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 firmly 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 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 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
