Ready for Apple Glasses? Apple Is Expected to Launch More Tech for Your Eyes

CNET13 hours ago
The smart glasses market is growing fast, and Apple is expected to jump into the space soon. Respected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a report this week saying Apple is working on seven different types of head-mounted AR and VR products, including a pair of smart glasses and a lighter Vision Pro for 2027.
For this week's episode of One More Thing (embedded above), I break down the timeline of what Apple could be releasing in the coming few years, based on Kuo's recent report.
The era of smart glasses is emerging faster than some might realize. Meta's Ray Bans smart glasses are growing in popularity, boasting sales of over 2 million units. Earlier this year Google unveiled Android XR, and is partnering with Warby Parker for future products.
It's no secret tech companies see smart glasses as the next major consumer tech category -- it's the next logical step for devices that can use AI. Sensors and cameras, hidden inside frames, can collect data and give context to the world with hands-free computing.
Normalizing these head-mounted computers would be a major shift in culture, similar to how the smartphone boom changed day-to-day interactions. These might be the final years before it's normal to have screens floating in front of your view of the real world -- and the final years before it's normal to wear a recording device near your eyes.

Nvidia, Microsoft, Palantir Lead Wedbush's Top Tech Bets on $2T AI Boom

July 4 - Wedbush Securities projects a more than 10% gain for major tech stocks in the second half of 2025, driven by a surge in enterprise and government AI spending. The top five picks are Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Analysts estimate roughly $2 trillion will flow into AI initiatives over the next three years, unlocking new use cases and boosting demand for both software and semiconductors. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. Wedbush points to recent strength in tech amid tariff and geopolitical headwinds as a prelude to further market outperformance. They highlight the rollout of large language models and the true adoption of generative AI in corporate settings as key catalysts for renewed rallies. With enterprise consumption set to accelerate, we believe software and chip leaders are well positioned to lead this AI Revolution' through 2026, the note added.

The best Apple 4th of July sale includes the newest iPad and iPad mini at record-low prices

As someone who tracks Apple prices before my first cup of coffee every morning, I've got a little secret for you. Regularly checking the huge tech brand's site for sales isn't going to do much for you; it rarely discounts its own products on its own site. However, you rarely have to pay full price on sites like Amazon if you're willing to practice a little patience. And now, with Fourth of July deals (not to mention early Prime Day deals) in full swing, you can grab whatever new device you've been dreaming of for less. These markdowns include the newest iPad and iPad mini (and both of them just hit their lowest price ever).AirPods, on the other hand, have crept back up in price (though all four varieties are still discounted). Still, I expect those to fall again once Prime Day hits next week. So if you're hoping for a deal, it's worth checking deals can be as unpredictable as the summer weather, and they rarely stick around for long, so if you find a price you like, pounce on it now. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

Top Analyst Sees More Upside for Nvidia (NVDA); $185 Price Target Signals Room to Run

Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) already stormed past a $3.9 trillion market cap this year; but according to one top Wall Street analyst, the run may be far from over. Vijay Rakesh of Mizuho Securities a 5-star-rated analyst just bumped his price target on Nvidia to $185, up from $170, while reiterating a Buy rating. That implies about 16% upside from current levels; and yes, that's after a year where the stock has already climbed 27%. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. Rakesh isn't just bullish on momentum he's leaning into product strength, long-term demand, and Nvidia's ability to outmaneuver export restrictions with new chip strategies. The analyst sees Nvidia pulling in $202 billion in revenue for FY2026, up from prior estimates; and $4.38 in earnings per share, both slightly ahead of Street consensus. He's confident the company can continue outperforming as AI workloads expand, and its flagship GB200 chips remain hot sellers into late 2025. One of the more interesting parts of the note? Rakesh pointed to Nvidia's B40 chip designed for China as a hedge in case trade rules relax. While shipments are currently blocked, he sees this as a sign Nvidia's not backing down from the market; just waiting for the door to reopen. Then there's Rubin, Nvidia's next-gen platform expected to ramp in 2026; that, combined with ongoing demand from hyperscalers, could set the stage for another growth cycle even after the monster gains seen over the last 18 months. Rakesh adjusted his valuation multiple as well; he's now applying a 32.7x multiple on FY2027 earnings, a modest bump from before but still justified, he argues, given Nvidia's sheer dominance across AI data centers, enterprise compute, and cutting-edge inference hardware.
