After leaking almost everything that could be shared about the upcoming iPhone 12 lineup, Youtube vloger, Jon Prosser, has tackled the upcoming Apple smart-glasses in his latest show. Apple Glass is allegedly the branding name chosen by the Cupertino-based tech giant for the revolutionary glasses. The gadget will start retailing for $499 and will be able to accommodate prescription lenses, for an extra fee of course.

Prosser also claims that early prototypes include a LiDAR sensor, the same sensor that it’s rumored to be including in the iPhone 12 Pro triple-lens main camera module. Apple Glass should also be compatible with wireless charging and will require a partner iPhone, same as the Apple Watch. Most likely, iOS will feature a companion Glass app that will help users to setup the smartglasses and use them at maximum potential.
