Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes that Apple has renewed its development of lightweight AR glasses to eventually replace iPhone.
Ever since April 4th, 2012, the successor to the iPhone has been clear. That was the day when Google unveiled its “Project Glass” which would later be known as Google Glass. And the video that Google released that day showed how donning a pair of specs could give you smartphone-like capabilities without having to hold a phone in your hand.
Even though Google Glass ended up failing as a consumer product because of the price ($1,500 at launch), a complicated fitting process, and the perception that those wearing the device were “Glassholes” taking photos of people without permission, there still is a high probability that AR specs from Apple could replace the iPhone eventually.
