From PC Mag: Apple's long-rumored smart glasses may be one step closer to reality. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company has made significant progress on the new chips it plans to use in its upcoming glasses.
The report says the company is experimenting with two different types of the wearable form factor. One will include augmented reality (AR), a technology the company has already used in its Vision Pro headset, and the other will be without AR. That latter product will likely be a competitor for devices like Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses.
Previously, we’ve mostly heard rumors around AR smart glasses from Apple but it appears the company wants to compete with fashion-focused wearables alongside a more capable AR option for those looking for more functionality.
This report from sources "familiar with the matter" says the processor Apple is working on is similar to the one within the Apple Watch. Some elements have been removed to improve power efficiency and help it fit within smaller devices.
