Meta Pauses International Ray-Ban Display Rollout

Meta says at CES 2026 that it is pausing planned early‑2026 international rollout of the Ray‑Ban Display after demand far exceeded limited supply. The AI‑equipped glasses, launched in the U.S. on September 30 for $799, now have waitlists stretching well into 2026, prompting Meta to prioritize fulfilling U.S. orders and delay launches in the UK, France, Italy and Canada. No new international timeline was provided.
