The new chip is designed specifically for Apple\u2019s smart glasses, which are expected to include environment-aware cameras<\/strong> but will not feature augmented reality (AR)<\/strong>. Instead, the glasses aim to assist with daily tasks<\/strong> using AI support<\/strong>. Inspired by the Apple Watch\u2019s low-power chips<\/strong>, Apple is adapting similar technology for its wearable glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apple shared that the new chip is being developed in partnership with TSMC<\/strong>, a leading manufacturer based in Taiwan. The goal is to begin mass production<\/strong> by late 2026 or 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These processors are being engineered to manage the glasses\u2019 cameras<\/strong> and other components while maintaining minimal battery consumption<\/strong>. The smart glasses category<\/strong> has become a key focus for Apple, especially following Meta\u2019s sales success \u2014 with Meta reportedly selling around 2 million Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses<\/strong> since 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hardware move underscores Apple\u2019s broader strategy to design custom chips<\/strong> not only for Macs and servers but also for wearable tech<\/strong>. The company confirmed that once development is complete, the chip will power future Apple devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
