Surprise! Meta Says Now You Have to Pay a Monthly Subscription to Use Key Features of Your Already Expensive Smart Glasses

Meta has introduced a $19.99 monthly subscription called Meta One Premium for its smart glasses, limiting the use of AI-powered Conversation Focus to 15 hours per month for subscribers and 3 hours for non-subscribers. This feature enhances voices during conversations and operates offline, raising questions about the necessity of the subscription. The move adds to the cost of already expensive glasses, potentially affecting user experience amid Meta's broader AI challenges.
