Snap tries to make the case again for its $2,200 smart glasses

Snap unveiled new features for its $2,200 Specs smart glasses, including an anticipatory AI system and enterprise partnerships with Amazon, Salesforce, and Nvidia.

At a Los Angeles event, Snap showcased updates for its Specs smart glasses, which launched earlier in 2026 at $2,200 to a mixed reception. The headline announcement was Specs Intelligence, an "anticipatory AI" system that builds an understanding of user goals and routines and works with iPhones and Macs independently of the glasses. Snap also launched Specs for Enterprise with partnerships including Amazon, Salesforce, and Nvidia, an NBA/WNBA AR training app, and a Verizon cellular connectivity package costing $10/month for Verizon customers and $20/month otherwise. The devices will ship later this fall after an October pop-up in Los Angeles.

macOS 27 Golden Gate – Review

Ars Technica reviews macOS 27 Golden Gate, highlighting an unavoidable Apple Intelligence upgrade, new AFM 3 Core models, and dropped Intel Mac support.

macOS 27 Golden Gate delivers the first significant Apple Intelligence upgrade two years after launch, and the toggle to disable the AI features or delete downloaded models is gone. Apple Intelligence runs on a new AFM 3 Core model built in collaboration with Google, while the more capable AFM 3 Core Advanced requires an M3 chip and at least 12GB of RAM. The release drops all Intel Mac support, requiring Apple Silicon, with Sequoia security updates expected to end in fall 2027 and Tahoe's in 2028.
