Meta reportedly delays 'Phoenix' mixed-reality glasses to 2027
Summary
Meta has pushed back the launch of its mixed-reality glasses, codenamed Phoenix, from the second half of 2026 to the first half of 2027, according to internal memos reported by Business Insider and summarized by multiple outlets. The delay is framed as giving Reality Labs “more breathing room” to deliver a polished, reliable product amid reported budget cuts of up to 30% for Meta’s metaverse division, and underscores Meta’s long-term bet on AI-infused wearables that compete with devices like Apple’s Vision Pro.
