“We released Ray-Ban MetaOptics this quarter designed for all-day wear rather than primarily as sunglasses.”

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, on earnings call 29 April 2026 Meta (META) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript (Motley Fool)

Mark Zuckerberg said Meta released Ray-Ban MetaOptics glasses "this quarter" (as of April 29, 2026), designed for all-day wear rather than primarily as sunglasses.

Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

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

What would count as true or false

Judged as of 29 Apr 2026; 'this quarter' means Meta's fiscal quarter in which the statement was made or the one it was reporting on (Q1 2026, Jan–Mar, or Q2 2026 up to 29 Apr). True: official Meta/EssilorLuxottica announcements or dated launch coverage show a product called Ray-Ban MetaOptics (or essentially that name) was released (available for purchase or launched) within that quarter, on or before 29 Apr 2026, and was positioned for all-day/everyday optical wear rather than mainly as sunglasses. Mostly true: released in that period and positioned as described, with a minor slip in the name or launch-date detail (e.g. announced in the quarter, with availability rolling out by market). Mostly false: the product exists but was released before that quarter or only announced (not released) by 29 Apr 2026, or it is not positioned for all-day wear. False: no such product was released, or it launched after 29 Apr 2026.

    “Earlier this year, the introduction of Ray-Ban Meta Optics rounded out the offering”

Reasoning

The earnings call transcript (E1) records the statement, but that is the subject speaking about itself. EssilorLuxottica's Q1 2026 revenue release, dated 22 April 2026 (E3, E4), credits wearables growth in the quarter to "the successful launch of Ray-Ban Meta's new optical-first styles" and says the new Ray-Ban optical AI glasses were "off to a strong start." That places a launch of optical-first models, positioned for everyday optical wear rather than as sunglasses, in Q1 2026. EssilorLuxottica's July 2026 release (E5) confirms the product name, saying the "introduction of Ray-Ban Meta Optics" happened "earlier this year."
