Apple is working on developing specialized chips for future devices, including smart glasses, new Macs, and AI servers, according to a Bloomberg report. The chips are being created by Apple’s silicon design team and will power devices within the Apple Intelligence platform. These chips are expected to bring a new level of energy efficiency, especially for smart glasses.
Apple is looking to compete with Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, which have already sold over 2 million units since their launch in 2023. The upcoming smart glasses from Apple will likely feature camera-based environmental awareness and use semiconductors similar to those found in the Apple Watch, offering better energy consumption compared to components used in the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Mass production of the chips is expected to begin by 2026 or 2027, with Apple planning to create a seamless integration across all its devices. This development is part of Apple’s broader strategy to enhance its Apple Intelligence platform and bring new innovations to the tech industry.
In addition to the smart glasses, Apple is also working on a foldable iPhone, which is said to feature a nearly invisible display crease, setting it apart from other foldable phones on the market. The tech world is eagerly awaiting these advancements, which could change the way we interact with devices.
