What we’re expecting
Expect a modest price increase if Meta delivers the rumored hardware upgrades.
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 established Meta’s smart glasses lineup at a $379 starting price, with prescription-ready configurations and premium frame options pushing the total higher. Reports suggest Meta’s next-generation glasses could move into the $400–$500 range as the company upgrades key hardware areas, including the camera system and AI capabilities. The rumored improvements point toward a more capable generation focused on stronger image quality, longer-running AI features, and a better everyday experience. Meta has not confirmed Gen 3 pricing, so the final number remains unknown until the official announcement. If the reports are accurate, Gen 3 appears positioned as a premium step forward rather than a simple cosmetic refresh.
