Apple Sets Sights on Dominating Eyewear Market

The tech giant’s approach to smart glasses shares similarities with its strategy for smartwatches, targeting high-end brands and redefining the eyewear industry. Apple Watch has disrupted the market since its launch, competing not just against traditional watchmakers but also luxury brands like Swatch, Fossil, and Seiko. In a similar vein, Apple’s upcoming smart glasses will compete with premium brands like Oakley, Ray-Ban, and Warby Parker in the $200-$500 price range. This move could potentially bring in bigger revenues for Apple than its current smartwatch business, which generates an estimated $17 billion annually, dwarfing the watch market at $132 billion.
