Meta is advancing in smart glasses technology, emphasizing wearable devices that could potentially replace certain smartphone functions. Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly working on its second-generation smart glasses, offering two operational modes based on connectivity. Initial models are expected by 2026, lacking in-lens displays but including audio, camera, and voice control features. Future iterations might incorporate health functionalities.

Meta's current Ray-Ban smart glasses feature in-lens displays, enabling photo and video capture, live streaming, and voice interaction via a built-in AI assistant. User feedback highlights convenience but raises privacy concerns.

In the UK, smartphone usage is prevalent, with significant market penetration among all age groups. Transitioning to smart glasses would require a shift in consumer habits. Key considerations include design, convenience, and cost. Current smartphone contracts, such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and iPhone 16 Pro Max, average £65.40 and £58.40 per month, respectively. To compete, smart glasses must offer comparable value.
