These already exist and are in progress.... The image above is from Mojo in fact.

Hey if Kuo says it, it must be true 😂🤦🏽♂️. I think anything like that is way farther than 9 years. Maybe 20-30 years from now.
By 2060 Apple wil have successfully cloned Steve Jobs and these clones will replace every single CEO in the world, it will result in a 'dent in the universe singularity' where the whole solarsystem get's blown up just to make a dent in spacetime.
Does anyone really have any realistic idea on how a battery and a screen can fit into a contact lens while also remaining cheap enough to be disposable on a monthly/weekly basis? Or how exactly something right on the surface of your eye would be able to generate light that appears to be coming from further away (beam forming on a photon level) so you can actually see it?
I mean it's cool to say cool things but is there anything to back this up realistically whatsoever? Why not just say they're working on a time machine that can fit into your pocket? Or a teleportation device the size of a matchbox, powered by body heat?

no technology company has PRODUCT plans that go out beyond 5-7 years, and 7 years is a stretch ... they do have technology roadmaps but they do know that technology is not predictable that far out ...
So Kuo and the such are not doing themselves a favor, they're going to lose credibility with such utter nonsense ...
Does anyone? Yes someone. In fact many people. We call them scientists and engineers. Similar products are being worked on by several companies around the world mostly from medical use. Are they coming in 2030? Highly unlikely. By the end of the 2030s? Let’s say 2037-38.....very likely. 17 years. Compare tech from 2021 to 2004.
I seriously doubt Apple is even considering this but medical device companies certainly are.
About the stupidest rumor ever. Might as well be predicting an anti gravity Apple Car by 2080.
This thread us worth it for this comment alone 🤣
This dude is living his best life.
Exactly. Yet MR created a separate article even though this is part of a single rumor from Kuo.
Just as well they're not Windows-based.

Question is.
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."

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.

Will you see a notch?
The notch will be part of the lens.
- “What’s that dark spot in your eye?”
- “Oh, that’s just the notch”.
