Apple is making notable progress in developing custom chips specifically designed for its upcoming smart glasses. Taking inspiration from the energy-efficient processors used in the Apple Watch, these new chips are optimized to support multiple cameras while minimizing power consumption. This strategic design approach aims to address the challenge of integrating advanced features into a compact and wearable form factor.
The smart glasses are expected to come in both augmented reality (AR) and standard display versions, catering to diverse user preferences. With mass production of these specialized chips anticipated by late 2026 or early 2027, the launch of the smart glasses could follow shortly after.
