Unfortunately Apple users will have to wait for the Apple glasses which are being released some point after 2025/2026. The specific things the glasses use are HDMI over DisplayPort Alt Mode (USB-C) and Qualcomm chips in the phone.

We are soon releasing versions for iOS, Mac and Windows. We are also hoping to release an extensibility model to allow others to build skins / modules. The glasses will only work properly on Android though.

Compared to contemporary AR glasses ($2k+), these Nreal Airs are fairly cost effective at $379. We plan to support lots more glasses as they come out, especially ones with waveguide technology that doesn't require the shared lenses.

We've taken a privacy-first approach here. All data is only ever stored on the device, owned by the user, inaccessible to us. It's only ever transcribing when a user asks it to and only stored if the user asks it to be. We don
