Apple’s cooking up a new chip for some snazzy smart glasses—yeah, the kind to rival those flashy Ray-Ban Meta ones. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman spilled the beans on that.
So, get this, they’re using tech from Apple Watches. These chips? Super energy-sipping, and they’ll juggle multiple cameras like it’s no biggie. I mean, we’re talking late 2026 or 2027 for the chip factory fun to kick off, and a big market splash two years after. Taiwan Semiconductor? They’re the ones making this happen.
Gurman hits us with, “Apple’s toying with the idea of smart glasses that use cameras to eyeball your surroundings, with AI lending a hand.” Sounds like Meta’s vibe, right? But Apple’s still noodling over the details. They need their AI to step up its game before they unleash an uber AI-focused gadget. Classic Apple, never rushing.
Oh, and don’t forget Tim Cook. This guy’s on a mission. Apparently, he can’t think of anything else but beating Meta with their own AR specs. It’s apparently his magnum opus—if you’re into dramatic flair.
Now, if you’ve tried those Meta Ray-Ban doodads, they’re already hopping. They snap pics, natter on the phone, stream tunes, and chat with voice assistants. And, they’re itching to launch the next-gen with a heads-up display. Fancy, huh?
But here’s the kicker: Apple, Google, Meta—all of them are daydreaming of AR glasses that turn your world into a sci-fi flick. Think digital meets reality, right on your face. But hey, making something that snazzy? It’s a cocktail of cutting-edge sensors, displays that’ll wow your socks off, and way more. Yeah, it’s a big deal.
So, does any of this make sense? Maybe. Or maybe it’s like chasing unicorns. Only time will tell.
