Let me paint a picture – imagine Tim Cook sitting in a room, scribbling notes that probably look like a mad scientist’s doodles. Apple is cooking up a new chip for these funky smart glasses, and they’re gunning to take on those flashy Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Heard this from Mark Gurman over at Bloomberg – he’s got his ear to the ground on these things.
So, picture this: Apple’s borrowing tech from their watches. Low-energy processors, they say. Sounds fancy, but really, it’s just about saving juice and making sure a bunch of cameras behave themselves. Yay, tech stuff.
They’re saying that production might kick off in, like, 2026 or 2027. That’s so far away I might have a flying car by then. Anyway, Taiwan Semiconductor’s in on it – they’ve been Apple’s chip BFFs for ages.
Gurman also spills that Apple wants glasses that aren’t just AR goggles. It’s like, “Cameras everywhere!” Maybe Apple wants to make everyday life look like a sci-fi movie. But they’re still noodling over how to pull it off. AI’s gotta step up its game too.
Oh, and Tim Cook – apparently, he’s all about this AR glasses race. Wants to leave Meta in the dust. It’s not just about looking cool, it’s a tech face-off that’s been raging on for years. Like a modern-day geek gladiator battle or something.
Now, about those smart specs – y’know, Meta’s Ray-Bans can do all sorts of tricks: play music, snap pics, make calls, and chatter with a voice assistant. They’ve got a fine-tuned version prepped for 2023, and rumor has it, Meta’s got plans for a new model soon, complete with a slick heads-up display.
Meanwhile, everyone’s dreaming of these all-day-use AR glasses: Apple, Google, Meta. To blend digital stuff with real life seamlessly, they need gear that’s top-notch—spiffy screens, cooler-than-cool sensors, processors, and batteries that go the distance.
Anyway, back to the coffee-fueled drawing board they go. Fingers crossed it’s not like those Apple Maps debacles. Who knows, maybe by then we’ll see the world through apple-tinted lenses, or maybe we’ll still just be poking at our smartphones. Only time will tell.
