Meta memo admits its Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses aren't getting much face time
Ray-Ban sold about 300,000 of the glasses between their launch in September 2021 and February 2023 — when Meta conducted the report. At that time, there were only 27,000 monthly active users, with the company citing issues such as poor connectivity and issues with battery life. Yes, these people already bought the sunglasses, so that's something for the companies, but the low retention doesn't exactly instill confidence in continual sales.
Yet, even with these poor numbers, Meta is set to release a new generation of Ray-Ban Stories in either the fall or spring. Apparently, the new glasses will have improved battery life and cameras and be available as more than the current three sunglass models. While the first generation is available for $299, there's no word yet on how the next version ofAll products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.
