The wristband gesture control and the in-lens display both work, according to CNET's two-week review, but the glasses have no prescription option, shorter battery life than the display-free Ray-Bans, and few apps to run.

Health and fitness teams can install the redesign this week, and the Apple Intelligence advice the rebuild is built around is missing from the beta, so what they can measure is Apple's layout and its metric views.

Apple put real aperture blades in the Pro and Pro Max and priced them at $1,199 and $1,299. CNET's reviewer loves the camera and still sends most buyers to last year's iPhone 17 at $929.
