Meta’s Smart‑Glasses: Ray‑Ban’s Ferrari Flair & Oakley AI Power
Ray‑Ban Meta update: New Skyler frames and Headliner (low‑bridge fit) join the second‑gen lineup; Ray‑Ban Remix offers hundreds of custom frame/lens combos across 15 countries.
Ferrari limited edition: An exclusive Scuderia Ferrari colorway launched around the Miami 2024 GP—first limited‑edition Ray‑Ban | Meta—available April 24, 2024.
Oakley Meta (Performance AI): First Oakley‑branded AI glasses (HSTN) add Ultra HD 3K video, open‑ear speakers, IPX4 water resistance, and ~40% longer battery; the case adds up to 48 hours.
PRIZM lenses & limited edition: Oakley Meta’s PRIZM tech boosts color and cuts visual noise; a 24K PRIZM Polar limited edition lists at $499 (preorders July 11), with the wider range from $399 later in summer 2025.
What happened
Ray‑Ban | Meta is widening its fit and style story. Meta’s April 2024 update introduced Skyler (retro cat‑eye) and a low‑bridge Headliner fit, plus broader Remix customization and a 15‑country rollout. It also debuted the Scuderia Ferrari limited edition for Miami 2024, marking the first official special‑colorway for the line.
On June 20, 2025, EssilorLuxottica and Meta unveiled Oakley Meta—a new Performance AI category led by HSTN. Key upgrades include Ultra HD 3K capture, open‑ear speakers, ~40% longer battery (up to ~8 hours typical use / 19 hours standby), and a charging case with up to 48 hours of additional power. Oakley’s PRIZM optics fine‑tune the light spectrum to amplify color and filter visual noise—a nod to action‑sport use.
Why it matters
Smart‑glasses are shifting from novelty to category. Ray‑Ban covers lifestyle and fashion fits (now including Ferrari’s motorsport flair), while Oakley Meta targets athletes and creators who want stabilized capture, clear audio, and rugged optics. That split lets Meta cover both style‑first and performance‑first buyers under the same AI platform.
