While the launch of Apple's Vision Pro has made headlines, it's apparently not the only mixed-reality device the iPhone maker has been exploring. In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims Apple is experimenting with several form factors for future wearable products, including smart glasses, AirPods with cameras, and a health-monitoring fitness ring similar to the Oura Ring or Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Ring.
Gurman said Apple's engineers have explored the possibility of developing smart glasses in the same vein as the Amazon Echo Frames or the Meta Ray-Bans to offer audio without the need for AirPods. Other features would include AI functionality and built-in cameras to identify things in your surroundings. The glasses are in an exploratory phase known as the "technology investigation" stage within Apple's hardware engineering division, Bloomberg reports.
Of course, all of this remains speculation for now, and don't expect any of these wearables to hit store shelves anytime soon. Gurman said that these are all early-stage internal Apple initiatives, and some, like the smart ring, are little more than concepts at this point. That being said, this does give us some plausible hints at where Apple's Wearables division could be headed.
