In other news, by 2040, Apple intends to release an implant that goes in your butt that can alter your genetic code based upon a recent copyright for Apple Bottom Genes.
Me, wearing hearing aids for medical reasons, DO NOT want to wear contact lenses that push images in my brain without my consent. The hearing instrument is intrusive enough.
Do you realise that today you can close your eyes or move your head when you do not want to see something, this would not work with "smart contact lenses".
BTW, I think that there are some difficulties from a physics point of view too, as your eye cannot focus on something that is drawn directly on your eye surface .... but that's another story.

So this article shouldn’t exist
''.....augmented reality overlays digital information over a real-world view; for example, a person walking in an outdoor shopping plaza could easily view each store's hours of operation... ''
Instead of a use case scenario like this (which is pretty useless for a human being equiped with a working brain), why not : Building something and then you can see an exploded view of component, or having board schematic superposed to electronic component you are fixing.

And AirTags will be released shortly after.
I’m guessing these won’t be daily disposables. Not sure I could cope with the anxiety again. When a lens breaks or falls out, I just use a spare
But will they beat Air Tags out to market?
In a research note shared with MacRumors, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today predicted that Apple will release augmented reality "contact lenses" in the 2030s. Kuo said the lenses will bring electronics from the era of "visible computing" to "invisible computing."
Mojo Vision smart contact lens
Kuo said the lenses are "unlikely to have independent computing power and storage," suggesting that they might rely on a connection to an iPhone or other device, but he did not offer any further details. Kuo said there is "no visibility" for this product currently, so this sounds more like a moonshot prediction rather than a guaranteed product.
Apple's contact lenses could provide a lightweight augmented reality experience without the need to wear glasses or a headset. In simple terms, augmented reality overlays digital information over a real-world view; for example, a person walking in an outdoor shopping plaza could easily view each store's hours of operation.
In the more immediate future, Kuo said Apple plans to release its long-rumored mixed reality headset "in mid-2022," followed by augmented reality glasses by 2025. For more details about these products, read our earlier coverage.
