Meta will make a huge leap in wearable tech. Following the hullabaloo that the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in India brought about, the tech behemoth is now sprinting towards introducing an entirely new, top-of-the-line model. Based on a Bloomberg report, Meta smart glasses October 2025 release date has been announced, and the new model is going to bring electrifying new features.

The future Meta glasses will allegedly come with a small internal display screen. The new functionality will enable users to display images and use basic apps straight from the glasses without the need to constantly connect the glasses to a smartphone. If all goes as planned, the new smart glasses will launch at more than $1,000, which will make them a high-end product compared to previous versions.

Meta Smart Glasses October 2025 Release: Ambitious Timelines and Scheduling Issues

Meta seems to be extremely dedicated to the October 2025 deadline. Managers are reported to have instructed teams to work faster, even over weekends, in order for the project to be finished within the strict deadline. Although there is less chance the project is going to be delayed, the company is doing all it can to keep on track. With the Meta smart glasses October 2025 deadline, Meta is keen to be a good role model in the wearable technology race.

The new release will likely be a paradigm shift in the wearables space. So far, the majority of smart glasses have not been able to offer great design, practical features, and affordable prices. Meta's new glasses, if successful, could be a new benchmark.

Apple's Secret Smart Glasses "N50" and Camera AirPods: Competition Intensifies

In the meantime, Apple is not idle. Apple, the tech giant, is quietly working on its own line of smart glasses codenamed "N50." Apple smart glasses N50, while still in their infancy, will be capable of scanning their surroundings and offering them useful information — a step toward augmented reality, but not entirely entering into it.

In addition, Apple is working on another new product: camera AirPods. Camera AirPods would be for people who don't want to wear glasses all day but still want some of the same environmental sensing features.

While Meta is building a first-mover advantage in the market for smart glasses, industry observers think that the actual competition between Meta and Apple will start in the second half of this decade. Both firms will likely launch fully immersive AR glasses by then, and smart glasses will be as ubiquitous as smartphones are today.

Meta vs Apple: Who Wins the War of Smart Glasses?

It's rare to see Apple, the owner of wearables like the Apple Watch, ceding early center stage to another technology behemoth. Meta's rapid response with the Meta smart glasses October 2025 project could pay dividends in the short term. Apple's past, however, suggests that it likes to mature a technology before it launches a blockbuster.

For now, Meta's first priority is clear: get next-generation smart glasses ready for October 2025 and build solid ground in India and other countries with products like the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. If all goes well, the world might be seeing an entirely new way of app, photo, and internet interaction — all through a cool pair of glasses.
