Apple's Smart Glasses Dilemma: Privacy vs. Features

Apple is facing a nightmare scenario with its secret smart glasses project, and privacy is the main culprit. To protect your data, Apple is testing two radical options. First, ditching the camera completely for a pure AI voice assistant. Second, keeping the camera strictly for real-time translation and object recognition, but blocking all photo and video recording. That means no hands-free clips, no vlogging, and no quick snaps. Meanwhile, Meta and Google give buyers full video recording right from their faces. If Apple stays rigid on privacy, its glasses could land dead on arrival against cheaper, feature-packed rivals. Will Apple sacrifice its core value to sell you glasses, or release a device nobody actually wants?
