Alright, picture this: Apple is cooking up some new gadgetry. Apparently, they’re diving headfirst into the smart glasses arena. They’re whispering around Silicon Valley about taking on those Ray-Ban Meta shades. I mean, Gurman from Bloomberg says so, so there might be something here. Who knows?
Apple’s brainstorming some chip that’s, like, sipping power—like the Apple Watch chips. But then, they’re supposed to handle a bunch of cameras. My brain’s trying to wrap around it—impressive stuff, no? And I’m just here wondering if I remembered to turn the oven off this morning.
Here’s the wild bit: they’re thinking production kicks in around 2026 or maybe 2027. Imagine waiting that long for something that’s not a parcel from the other side of the planet. Taiwan Semi’s gonna make these chips. Never been great with dates but, let’s say they’re shooting for a launch within two years after that. Kinda like waiting for a sequel to your favorite movie. Or maybe not.
Gurman’s throwing tidbits about non-AR smart glasses into the mix. Something with cameras and AI that checks out the world around you. Sounds a bit like Meta’s playground, though Apple’s doing its own dance—figuring out the best moves. They’re uplifted, of course.
Tim Cook’s involved too, apparently cares about nothing else but getting AR glasses out before Meta. It’s a whole other world. Could you believe that level of focus? Can’t even decide what to watch on Netflix, yet here’s Cook.
Those Meta glasses—it’s like they do everything but cook dinner. Taking pics, calls, sound—the works. New version’s been a hit and they’re itching to level it up.
But Apple’s, Google’s, Meta’s versions? AR glasses are the real deal—mixing virtual with reality, stuff we only see in sci-fi movies. They want these to last all day, almost like sunglasses but with all the bells and whistles. It’s a big leap from what we’ve got now, needing all the tech wizardry.
Okay, where was I? Not sure these smart specs will make me look as cool as Ray-Bans do, but who wouldn’t be curious?
