Do Google's Gemini glasses work with an iPhone?

Yes. Google lists the iPhone 13 Pro and newer as supported, next to the Pixel 7 series and newer and Galaxy S, S FE, Z Fold, Z Flip and Fold Ultra phones on One UI 9.0 or higher. At launch, Guided Vision, Aira and Audible work only with Android phones, so iPhone owners get a smaller feature set.

What does Google do with what the glasses' camera sees?

Google says camera images sent to Gemini from Intelligent Eyewear are not saved in Gemini History and are not used to train AI models or target ads. The glasses blur bystanders' faces before Gemini processes a picture, a light shows when photos or videos are taken, and recording stops if that light is covered.

Where can I buy Google Intelligent Eyewear?

Google Intelligent Eyewear is available for preorder online and in stores from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, and through the Google Store, with demos at some locations. Google says the glasses work only with Google accounts from the US and South Korea, and the Gentle Monster collection is sold in those two countries.

How does it work?

You say "Hey Gemini" or tap the frame, and the assistant uses the built-in 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera to answer questions about what you see, add items to a list or check your calendar from a poster. Directions from Google Maps and real-time speech translation in more than 70 languages come through audio. Before Gemini processes a picture, the glasses blur the faces of people nearby.

Why does it matter?

Google and Samsung now sell AI glasses against Meta's Ray-Ban line, and they work with iPhones as well as Android phones. Google says camera images sent to Gemini are not saved in Gemini History or used to train models or target ads, which answers a main privacy worry about camera glasses.
