Summary
Snap’s pricey new AR glasses, Specs, cost $2,195 and sparked a 4% stock drop—mainly due to their bulky design and steep price, even as early adopters see potential. Unlike Meta’s $799 Ray-Ban AR glasses, Specs offer dual-lens displays and built-in audio without needing a separate device. While critics mocked their size, others hailed them as a step forward for AR tech. With rivals like XReal already selling AR glasses and Apple rumored to enter the market, Snap’s move comes amid explosive growth in smart glasses shipments—up 167% for non-display models and 86% for display-equipped ones.
