The Vision Pro may be off to a rocky start, but Apple might not be done trying to put hardware on your face. Liquid Glass, the design motif that is going to change the look and feel of all Apple devices starting later this year, takes explicit inspiration from the Vision Pro's augmented reality interface. And as Meta's Ray-Bans continue growing in popularity, and Google takes a second swing at smart glasses, the rumor mill is in full swing about the potential for Apple to enter the market. Especially among those tinkering with the early developer access to Liquid Glass, the potential for it to fuel a smart glass-oriented operating system is clear. After all, transparent design elements are most important when they might prevent you from running into something. Get immersed in more rumors here:

Google Search as you know it is over. The familiar blue links we’ve seen for 25 years are getting pushed out in favor of an “intelligent search box,” which Google is putting front and center as part of its all-in push for AI-powered experiences. The box will expand to accommodate for longer queries, and suggestions will be much more extensive versions of the autocomplete we’ve all seen in the search bar. On top of all that, “information agents” are planned to release this summer, allowing you to track changes made to sites, whether it’s product prices or news updates, and alert you without any prompting.
