It has been revealed that tech giant Apple<\/strong> might prefer the S10 chip<\/strong> used in Apple Watches<\/strong> instead of iPhone processors<\/strong> to solve the battery problem<\/strong> in its smart glasses project<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out a solution to the battery life issue<\/strong>, seen as the biggest obstacle in the smart glasses project<\/strong> Apple<\/strong> has been working on for a long time, might be found through hardware the company already uses. According to new information, Apple<\/a><\/em><\/strong> aims to maintain lightness<\/strong> and significantly extend daily usage time<\/strong> by preferring a highly efficient System-in-Package (SiP)<\/strong> architecture used in Apple Watches<\/strong> instead of iPhone processors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest handicap of smart glasses<\/strong> is that they can only work for a few hours as a standalone device. This makes it difficult to position the product as an alternative to the iPhone<\/strong>. Previous reports revealed the need for a special chip that offers performance similar to A-series processors<\/strong> in the iPhone<\/strong> but consumes only one-tenth of the power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch Chip May Be Used in Apple Glasses<\/strong> According to the information conveyed, the S10<\/strong>, the most powerful member of the Apple Watch SiP<\/strong> family, will be at the heart of Apple Glasses<\/strong>. This dual-core<\/strong> chip is supported by a 4-core Neural Engine<\/strong>. In terms of performance, while the S10<\/strong> cannot compete with the A19<\/strong> or A19 Pro processors<\/strong> used in iPhones<\/strong>, it is stated to offer processing power similar to older generation iPhone chips<\/strong>. This makes the S10<\/strong> an ideal candidate combining low power consumption<\/strong> with sufficient computing capacity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to EBN<\/strong> sources, the most important advantage of the S10<\/strong> is its potential to offer full-day usage<\/strong> thanks to ultra-low energy consumption<\/strong>. On the other hand, the battery capacity<\/strong> of Apple Glasses<\/strong> is predicted to remain under 800 mAh<\/strong>. Although an iPhone processor<\/strong> will not be used on the hardware side, it is stated that Apple Glasses<\/strong> will not fall far behind in terms of features. The device is planned to process images from multiple cameras<\/strong>, call and control Siri<\/strong>, and run AI-based features<\/strong> while connected to the iPhone<\/strong>. This shows that the glasses will be positioned not alone but as part of the ecosystem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the connectivity side, it is stated that Apple’s first-generation smart glasses<\/strong> could establish a direct or wireless connection with an iPhone<\/strong> or Mac<\/strong>. However, it is noted that the first version will be screenless<\/strong> and offer an experience focused more on camera<\/strong>, audio<\/strong>, and artificial intelligence<\/strong>. This model is expected to be introduced in 2026<\/strong>. More ambitious innovations are left for the second generation. Expected to be introduced in 2027<\/strong>, the second-generation Apple Glasses<\/strong> may have a structure capable of running two different operating systems<\/strong> depending on the device it is connected to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
