- Snap unveiled new features for its $2,200 smart glasses, Specs, including integration with HBO Max and Spotify, aiming to enhance entertainment functionality and broaden use cases beyond novelty.
- Snap launched Specs Intelligence, an 'anticipatory AI' system that connects with user devices like iPhones and Macs to track goals, routines, and priorities across apps, functioning as an AI-powered productivity layer.
- Snap introduced Specs for Enterprise, partnering with Amazon, Salesforce, and Nvidia to integrate the glasses into corporate workflows, targeting IT technicians with AR-assisted hardware repair demonstrations.
- Snap announced a cellular connectivity package for Specs via a partnership with Verizon, costing $10–$20 per month depending on carrier status, enabling mobile use outside Wi-Fi networks.
- Evan Spiegel positioned Specs as a 'human-centric' computing platform during a Los Angeles event, rejecting dystopian AI narratives and framing the glasses as tools to make users more capable, not obsolete.
Why it matters: Snap is shifting from consumer spectacle to enterprise utility, betting that corporate adoption can offset limited mass-market appeal. With $2,200 pricing and partnerships involving major tech firms, the real test is whether IT departments will deploy Specs at scale — turning a widely mocked product into a niche but viable B2B offering.
