Meta's Ray-Ban Display Smart Glasses Delayed International Launch Due to Overwhelming Demand
In a move that has left fans eagerly waiting, Meta, the company behind the highly-anticipated smart glasses, has delayed its international rollout of the Ray-Ban Display due to "unprecedented demand" and limited inventory. The initial release was slated for early 2026 but now appears to be indefinitely postponed.
As expected, acquiring these cutting-edge glasses has proven to be a challenge. They are only available in select retail outlets across the US, where customers need to book an appointment for a demo. Despite this hurdle, Meta initially anticipated that availability would increase as more people got their hands on them, but it seems that demand still outstrips supply.
The Ray-Ban Display glasses boast impressive specs, including a heads-up display, camera, stereo speakers, six microphones, WiFi 6, and a finger-tracking Neural Band controller. However, with the delay, it remains to be seen how long these innovative frames will remain in short supply.
Meta has chosen to focus on fulfilling orders in the US while re-evaluating its approach to international availability. With no new release date announced, fans can only speculate about when their turn will come.

I mean, who wouldn't want a pair of Ray-Ban Display Smart Glasses with all that tech? I was planning to surprise my bf with them on our 1-year anniversary but I guess that's not gonna happen anymore 
. Can you even imagine how many people are going crazy right now because they're trying to get their hands on these?
I'm seriously considering buying a pair from a secondary market seller online, but I know it's not the same as having them brand new... sigh 
I was super hyped for these glasses and now I'm just gonna have to keep waiting lol. I mean, I get it, demand is high but like 2026 was still pretty far away so I wasn't expecting them this soon anyway. Maybe they'll figure out a way to make more or something? Idk what else they can do tbh.
. Guess we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed (or should I say, our eyes lol?)
like u cant even handle some demand lol theyre already makin people book appointments at retail outlets in the us and now ur telling us its delayed indefinitely? poor customers gotta deal with this nonsense 
and whats up with the finger-tracking neural band controller tho? sounds like a total gimmick 
. anyway, it's probs for the best that meta is focusing on getting more inventory in the us first... but at the same time, what if they just keep pushing back the release date forever? 
. First, they say it's coming in 2026, then they push it back to "indefinitely postponed"... like, what even is that? 
. Can't wait to see when they'll actually release them... maybe never 
like i get it demand is high but come on Meta u had like 2 months to prepare... 
would've been lit 
But yeah, I guess Meta's being realistic about not wanting to mess up the customer experience by releasing something that'll be hard to find. 
. The fact that demand is so high is a good problem to have, but it's still super annoying for fans who are eagerly waiting to get their hands on them. Maybe they should just make more, lol! 
They're literally the coolest thing since sliced bread, and now they're delayed AGAIN 
We need our hands on those fancy specs and tech... my wallet is READY
