weekend, investor Ross Gerber praised Meta Platform, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:META) smart glasses, giving a reminder of the prediction Mark Zuckerberg made 10 years ago.\nGerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, said on X that Meta's eyewear tech gives him \"hope\" he'll be able to give up his smartphone \"one day soon.\"\nMeta introduced two new models in September 2025: the $499 Oakley Meta Vanguard, aimed at athletes and the $799 Ray-Ban Meta Display, which includes a built-in augmented reality screen.\nSee Also: Why 12-Year-Old Mark Zuckerberg Built A Little Messaging Network For The Family Member Who Reportedly Wrote Him $100,000 Check To Start Facebook\nIn October, Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica (OTC:ESLOF) CEO Francesco Milleri said he sees smart glasses eventually replacing smartphones entirely.\nAs part of that push, the company expects to scale production of Ray-Ban Meta glasses to 10 million units annually by the end of next year.\nMeta currently owns a 3% stake in EssilorLuxottica and has invested about 3 billion euros in the partnership.\nSubscribe to the Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.\nIn his evaluation this week, analyst Gene Munster and Brian Baker said they were \"blown away\" by Meta's hardware but quickly realized there was \"not much to do\" with the glasses.\nThe reviewers said the device excelled at displaying notifications but offered few functions beyond what a smartphone or smartwatch already provides.\nVoice dictation responses were \"buggy,\" photo quality lagged behind phone cameras and the AI frequently misidentified objects.\nGerber's remarks echo what Zuckerberg said in 2015 after Facebook bought Oculus for more than $2 billion. At the time, he predicted that every decade brings a new computing platform and argued that virtual and augmented reality would eventually surpass mobile.\nHe said the future would revolve around capturing and sharing experiences in more natural, immersive ways—not through still photos or 2D videos, but through technology integrated directly into a user's field of view.\nBenzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that META is slipping across short, medium and long-term periods.
