Description Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple's first smart glasses (N50) will be display-less AI glasses with cameras, speakers, mics and Siri, to be unveiled at WWDC in June 2027 and shipped in late 2027 after a delay. Apple already offers Live Translation on AirPods; Meta's glasses offer live translation.
  • This event resolves YES if, on or before December 31, 2027 23:59 PT (Jan 1, 2028 07:59 UTC), Apple officially announces any smart glasses and lists real-time spoken-language translation as a feature of them. Resolves YES immediately upon a qualifying announcement.
  • This event resolves NO if Apple announces no smart glasses by the deadline, or announces glasses without this feature by the deadline.
  • 1. Specificity: Glasses = Apple- or Beats-branded eyewear worn on the face (with or without display), not a headset like Vision Pro. Feature = translating speech in one language and delivering it to the wearer as audio and/or text (Live Translation or equivalent), stated in Apple's materials as working on/with the glasses. Counts if beta, language/region-limited, processed on a paired iPhone, or announced for a post-launch update.
  • 2. Exclusion: Translation of written text only (signs, menus via camera); teasers without the feature named; rumors, leaks, third-party apps; features stated only for iPhone/AirPods.
  • 3. Source Hierarchy: Apple Newsroom, apple.com product/feature/Support pages priority. Apple keynote video secondary. Bloomberg, Reuters, The Verge reporting on Apple's official announcement tertiary.
  • 4. Timing: Must occur by Dec 31, 2027 23:59 PT. Post-deadline resolves NO.
  • 5. Cancellation Rule: Official announcement for the glasses suffices; shipping not required. If later withdrawn, resolves YES based on first announcement.
