As a matter of practice, and to prevent an onslaught of frivolous lawsuits, Apple routinely patents every single new product and technology its engineers come up with. And though most Apple patents do not result in a shipping product, that’s not always the case. Indeed, there have been a few instances in the past where an Apple patent has provided us with concrete information regarding an unreleased product or upcoming feature on an existing product.
Having said that, the most intriguing Apple rumor of late centers on the Cupertino-based company rolling out a pair of AR glasses. To this end, Apple recently filed a patent application which covers a head-mounted device with a transparent display. And while a head-mounted device could quite literally be any number of things, the entirety of the patent tends to point to something similar in design to a pair of glasses with transition lenses.
