TECH - Apple Glass Potential Competitor To Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses May Take Longer To Develop: Report | Benzinga

Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) much-anticipated “Apple Glass,” rumored competitor to Meta Platforms Inc.’s (NASDAQ:META) Ray-Ban smart glasses, may not hit the market for several more years.
