Meta Halts Ray-Ban Display Glasses International Rollout as Waitlists Stretch Into 2026
Summary
Meta suspends international rollout of Ray-Ban Display glasses to four countries as overwhelming demand creates waitlists stretching into 2026, while showcasing new teleprompter and finger-writing features at CES.
Key Points

- Meta demonstrates new features at CES 2026 including a teleprompter function and finger-writing capabilities through the Neural Band wristband controller
