There's a lot for Mark Zuckerberg to cover at this year's keynote.
Key facts
- Like last year's event, Meta has again opted for an evening keynote, with Zuckerberg taking the stage at 4PM PT/7PM ET on September 23
- That could be a reference to these camera-free frames or, perhaps, a new Gen 3 lineup (the first Gen 2 models debuted at last year's Connect)
- In a recent AMA on Instagram, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth said the company would have "more to say" about the issue during Connect
- And earlier this year it started allowing developers to create dedicated apps for Meta Ray-Ban Display
Summary
Like last year's event, Meta has again opted for an evening keynote, with Zuckerberg taking the stage at 4PM PT/7PM ET on September 23. As with the last few years, there's likely to be a lot of glasses-related news. These glasses, which will reportedly come in two styles, will instead come with extra microphones for chatting with Meta's AI assistant. More significantly, they could also help Meta address ongoing privacy concerns and backlash against its current lineup of glasses. Ray-Ban has recently hinted that it has new Meta-branded glasses coming soon. That could be a reference to these camera-free frames or, perhaps, a new Gen 3 lineup (the first Gen 2 models debuted at last year's Connect).
