Apple’s cooking up something new, and it’s, well, a bit of a mystery… These smart glasses rumors? Kind of wild. I stumbled across this nugget from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and thought, hmm, what’s up with that? So, Apple’s got this chip in the works. Apparently, it wants to give those Ray-Ban Meta Glasses a run for their money. But here’s the kicker—it’s gonna be a chip like the ones in Apple Watches. Low energy, lots of efficiency. Fancy talk for “it won’t die on you mid-use.” Cameras might even be in the mix too. Imagine that!
They say production’s on the horizon for 2026 or maybe 2027. TSMC—Taiwan Something Manufacturing Co. or whatever—is doing the heavy lifting there. Interesting choice, right? Ah, details, details.
Gurman spilled that Apple’s toying with these AI-glasses—no AR nonsense, just cameras scoping out the world. Sort of like spying on reality? Or is that too dramatic? Who knows. But they want some fancy AI to boss users around, in a good way, I guess. Apple’s playing coy about the whole strategy… typical.
Oh, and Tim Cook? Apparently, this dude’s laser-focused on beating Meta in the AR arena. Talk about dedication. This AR glasses thing isn’t just like, popping on some sunnies with flair. It’s a big to-do, involving like, a zillion complicated bits like sensors and god-knows-what-else. And who doesn’t love a good tech arms race, right?
Meta’s been strutting around with Ray-Ban Glasses, doing cool stuff like playing music, snapping pics, taking calls. It’s all very Mission: Impossible, and kind of working for them. Rumors say they’re adding a heads-up display in the next round. Nice touch.
Anyway, these companies—Apple, Google, Meta—they’re practically drooling over this AR future. Imagine digital doodads pasted over reality. Mind-blowing. Well, sort of. These gizmos need to handle a ton of feedback—displays, sensors, processors, oh my! It’s not just slap-it-together magic. It’s an ordeal, really. But hey, that’s progress, I suppose.
