What to know

Meta's next Ray-Ban glasses come in two designs code-named Aperol and Bellini, according to The Information. Code names are private names used before a product gets its real one.

A group called XR Research Institute posted two pictures on WeChat, a Chinese social app, and said Aperol is a pair of sunglasses and Bellini is an everyday frame for prescription lenses. UploadVR said the pictures show different designs but warned the group could be wrong.

Meta has not announced either design.

Frequently asked

What are the new frames?

Reports link Aperol to sunglasses and Bellini to prescription eyewear. Unauthenticated renders depict thicker frames; whether that thickness accommodates a larger battery is editorial inference, not a confirmed design detail.

Are these the final names?

No. Aperol and Bellini are codenames from leaks, not confirmed retail names.
