Snap CEO Sidesteps Specs Preorder Questions

During Snap’s Q2 earnings call, CEO Evan Spiegel avoided direct answers about preorder demand for the company’s long-awaited Specs smart glasses, which are scheduled for a September launch event. Spiegel said consumers will want hands-on experience before buying the $2,195 device and that developers familiar with the platform understand its technical advances. Snap unveiled Specs in June after more than a decade of development. Spiegel defended Snap’s standalone hardware strategy, called the long-term opportunity “enormous,” and said mass-market adoption is likely closer to the end of the decade as weight and cost fall and developer support grows.
