“We're going to have more to share on all of this, especially our Reality Labs work, at Connect on September 17th”

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta 30 July 2025 Meta Q2 2025 Results Conference Call (Meta Investor Relations)

Promise Their own work or organisation

Meta will share more on these topics, especially its Reality Labs work, at Connect on 17 September 2025.

Delivered on time The record shows it happened or was so.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

The test is whether Meta held Connect on 17 September 2025 (a multi-day event that starts that day counts) and used it to make new announcements on its AI products and, in particular, on Reality Labs work. Reality Labs work means glasses, headsets, wearables and related AI. True: Connect took place on that date and included new Reality Labs and AI announcements. Mostly true: Connect took place on that date with substantial Reality Labs announcements but little that was new on AI, or the date shifted by a day or so while still being held by 17 September. Mostly false: Connect was held only after 17 September 2025, or it took place but had no new Reality Labs content. False: no Connect event took place in September 2025, or it was cancelled.

Reasoning

Tom's Guide reports that Meta Connect 2025 held its opening keynote on September 17 and debuted the Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses there (E1). UploadVR, an independent outlet, names Meta Ray-Ban Display, sold with the Meta Neural Band sEMG wristband, as the main hardware launch of Connect 2025 (E2). Meta's own posts say new AI glasses, including Meta Ray-Ban Display and the Meta Neural Band, were announced at Connect (E3, E4). Connect was held on the promised date and included new Reality Labs and AI announcements, so the promise resolves true and on time.
