Snap Sets September 16 Launch for $2,195 Specs AR Glasses as Fall Shipping Nears

Summary

  • September 16 is when Snap will give the first in-depth public look at Specs in Los Angeles, with CEO Evan Spiegel presenting the next-generation AR glasses.
  • The event is framed as a launch for Specs, but Snap's pre-order page still lists shipments for this fall in the US, UK and France, pointing to a firmer delivery date at the showcase.
  • $2,195 Specs pre-orders opened in June, and attendees at the Los Angeles event will be among the first to try the device hands-on.
  • Two Qualcomm Snapdragon processors power the standalone glasses—one for computer vision and one for AR Lenses—letting Snap avoid an external puck or tethered device as it pushes AI-assisted wearable computing.
