Here is detailed information on the new patents for Apple smart glasses and details on their release date, price and features.
Apple AR Glasses – Active Mode and Protective Mode
Patently Apple is a trusted source which always predicts correct information about Apple device based on their submitted patents. It lists two modes for the upcoming Apple AR headset, the normal usage active mode and the idle protected mode. The active mode in Apple smart glasses will be the default mode when a user could perform the general tasks and features.
While the protected mode will put the Apple smartglasses in a kind of stasis, and the visual lenses will remain intact no matter what happens. The glasses, lenses and other components will be protected and would be prone to any kind of physical damage.

Apple is trying hard to release the AR smart glasses before 2020 ends to stay ahead in the competition and is already in talks with various institutes for incorporating the augmented reality features.
