What to know

Apple is testing at least four frame styles for its smart glasses, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in April 2026. He said Apple plans to launch some or all of them, in many colors.

Two styles are rectangular, one of them like a Ray-Ban Wayfarer. The others are a larger and a smaller oval. The newest test pairs use acetate, a sturdy plastic used in good eyeglass frames.

Apple has not announced the glasses or said which styles it will sell.
