Will Apple first unveil its smart glasses during the WWDC 2027 keynote?
$21,795 Vol. 203d 17h left
Description Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple's first smart glasses (codename N50), a Meta Ray-Ban rival without an AR display priced around $200-500, are planned for unveiling at WWDC in June 2027 and shipping in late 2027, after a delay from 2026. Apple rarely launches hardware at WWDC, though it did with Vision Pro in 2023.
- This event resolves YES if Apple first officially unveils smart glasses during its WWDC 2027 keynote, held on or before July 31, 2027, 23:59 UTC.
- This event resolves NO if Apple formally announces smart glasses before the keynote begins (including a Newsroom post the day before), if the keynote ends without such an unveiling, or if no WWDC 2027 keynote occurs by July 31, 2027, 23:59 UTC.
- 1. Specificity: Smart glasses = Apple-branded (or Apple subsidiary, e.g. Beats, if shown in the keynote) glasses-form eyewear, with or without a display. Unveiling = a formal keynote introduction identifying the product as glasses, naming or clearly showing it; a preview with later release counts.
- 2. Exclusion: Vision-line products (incl. any Vision Air) or anything Apple calls a headset do not count. Leaks, reports, code findings, filings, and teasers not identifying the product as glasses do not count. Post-keynote sessions or press releases do not count. Software for third-party glasses does not count.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: Apple Newsroom and official keynote video priority. Bloomberg and The Verge secondary. MacRumors and 9to5Mac tertiary, only to confirm what happened in the keynote.
- 4. Timing: Only the WWDC 2027 keynote counts; betting closes at keynote start (expected June 7, 2027, 17:00 UTC; updated once Apple confirms dates); deadline July 31, 2027, 23:59 UTC.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: Shipping not required. A later delay or cancellation after a keynote unveiling does not reverse YES.
