Meta rolls out 'Meta One' subscription globally, plans camera-free AI glasses

Meta has globally rolled out its "Meta One" subscription bundle, which includes expanded Meta AI capabilities driven by Muse. [1] The subscription offers individual plans priced at $7.99 per month and $19.99 per month. [1] Additionally, the company plans to release a camera-free model of its smart glasses this fall. [2] This upcoming hardware will feature six microphones designed to let users communicate with Meta's AI chatbot and Muse. [2]

The launch of Meta One alongside upcoming voice-first smart glasses shows Meta actively monetizing its AI investments through both software subscriptions and specialized hardware. By removing cameras from the new glasses, the company provides a privacy-friendly alternative to its Ray-Ban wearables while keeping users tethered to its Muse-powered chatbot via a multi-microphone array. What the sources don't address: whether current owners of Meta's camera-equipped glasses will receive the same expanded Muse capabilities included in the Meta One bundle.
