However, Kuo notes that the industry might see the release of the augmented reality glasses from the Cupertino tech giant in 2022.

It appears that the time frame is because of the complexity in the manufacturing of high-tech glasses.

Earlier, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman predicted that the upcoming glasses from Apple might arrive in 2023.

The prototype I saw, I’m not saying they will come out in these colors, but I saw them in black and white. And they don’t look like a machine on your face.”
