Apple’s Glasses Are Reportedly Being Developed as Fitness Devices Like the Apple Watch
Apple products that initially didn’t make sense to everyone have sometimes been hits in part because they become exercise gear. The go-to example here is the Apple Watch, but in 2005, Apple released the iPod Shuffle, a music player so small, Apple (jokingly) warned people not to eat it. And that’s probably good thinking on Apple’s part, because Gurman also says Apple is worried this whole product family creeps people out.

I sure didn’t want one, but exercisers did, and it ended up being a huge hit that some outdoorsy people still use…
