Meta Delays Phoenix Mixed Reality Glasses to 2027

Meta’s mixed reality glasses, codenamed “Phoenix,” have had their release date pushed back from mid-2026 to early 2027. The change comes after CEO Mark Zuckerberg advised executives to take more time for quality and sustainability. Meta already sells VR headsets and smart glasses, but the Phoenix project has a different format, similar to Apple’s Vision Pro. This delay follows reports that Meta plans to cut its metaverse budget by up to 30%.
