Apple Glass will be here soon: Things you should know

For reasons best known to Apple, the Apple Glasses – believed to be called Apple Glass – is one of the most mysterious devices in the tech fraternity. For years now we have been sleeping with rumors about Apple’s augmented reality/smart glasses only to wake up with another set of hearsays the next morning. While we long to see the first real images of the glasses in any form, an Apple leakster, has managed to see them and “they’re sleek as hell,” he says.

Jon Prosser, who has had many correct Apple-related prediction in recent past, confirms the Apple Glass moniker and adds that it would retail for a considerably more affordable price than expected. With all speculations and presumptions, the AR glasses, could have been expected to retail upwards of a thousand grands – surprisingly they will start at $499 without the prescription lenses. Including your prescription lenses on Apple eyewear frame will be additional cost to you.

An Apple patent recently revealed hints at auto-adjusting pair of glasses that may not require prescription lenses. The system will identify required vision correction and make necessary alteration – pretty sci-fi right? This will be a story for the second-gen Apple Glass or maybe an all together a different VR/AR heads-up display – it is not happening anyway in the model that will be unveiled for us soon.

In line with various dig ups in the past, Apple’s first generation glasses would pair with the iPhone and all data processing will happen on the handset. This will lift up a lot of weight from the Apple Glass frame, which would make them as slim as Prosser says they are. If you remember, the first generation Apple Watch, before it run applications itself in the models down the years, also left all the processing for the iPhones to manage. The first-gen Apple Glass will be designed to do so as well.
