Summary
Snap’s CEO Evan Spiegel unveils Specs, a sleek $2,195 AR glasses device designed to merge digital content with the real world — no more staring at phones. Targeting everyday users, Specs promise four hours of battery life, lighter design, and AI-powered developer tools, launching later this year in the U.S., U.K., and France. Despite Snap’s ongoing financial losses, Spiegel bets big on AR as the next frontier beyond smartphones, positioning Specs against Meta and Google’s competing tech. He dismisses audio-only glasses as insufficient, while also planning parental controls to manage teen usage — all part of a bold, long-term vision to reshape how we interact with technology.
