Why are so many people convinced that glasses will replace smartphones? There is almost no upside to glasses over phones other than maybe recording video. I always have my phone in my pocket. I never put my sunglasses in my pocket for obvious reasons.By 2027, the era of handheld devices will slowly come to the end. Smartphones will fade into history, replaced by intelligent glasses — a brief transitional phase before humanity adopts AI-powered neural retinal implants. My company has been developing this technology for years — it’s not science fiction anymore, it’s the next evolution and the industrialization will start before 2030.
If someone calls you, do you want to have to put glasses on just to see who it is or what text message was just sent?
Meta has seemed to have figured this out and are marketing their glasses toward people who already wear them. That's the market. People who don't wear glasses won't want to strap something to their face to do what they already can do at glance from a phone in their pocket or a watch on their wrist.
