Alex Heath, a senior reporter for The Verge, said on Twitter that Snap CEO Evan Spiegel told him that in hindsight, "we probably should have made more.”

Why It Matters: While Snap’s website always reflected an 11-to-12 week shipping period since the drone was launched, beginning April 28 the wait time rose to 15 to 16 weeks, according to The Verge. 

In 2021, Snap launched “Spectacles” — camera-embedded sunglasses with built-in AR displays.

At the time of the smart glasses launch, there was a buzz surrounding the drone as well, since Snap acquired Ctrl Me Robotics for less than $1 million a few years earlier.

Price Action: On Friday, Snap shares closed 8.7% lower at $24.90 in the regular trading and rose 0.2% after the bell, according to Benzinga Pro data.
