Alright, here goes nothing. So, apparently, Apple’s cooking up some new smarty pants glasses — y’know, like the ones from Ray-Ban and Meta, or so Bloomberg’s saying. Mark Gurman’s the guy with the scoop.
So, these glasses, they’re getting their brains from chips similar to those in Apple Watches. Those little gadgets you see on wrists everywhere. And hey, because the world needs more numbers, they’re talking about cranking out these chips by 2026 or 2027 or… you know, whenever they get around to it. Because deadlines, right?
Anyway. They’ve teamed up with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Again… whatever, not like there are other chip makers in the world, right?
Gurman’s got more to spill — apparently, Apple’s thinking about glasses that basically have eyes? Like, cameras that see what’s around you and some AI fairy dust to tell you what’s what. Like those Meta shades, but not just copycats. Maybe. Who knows?
Tim Cook’s on a mission, or so they say. It’s like his white whale. Beating Meta to the AR glasses punch or something. He’s got, like, laser focus on this. Cook’s approach is all or nothing, dive in and build something that doesn’t just take photos or yap your ear off like Meta’s doohickeys.
Speaking of which, those Meta Ray-Ban things, they’re kinda nifty. Play tunes, chat up your pals, even snap pics. The fresh drop in 2023 was a hit, so they’re already gearing up for a version with some fancy heads-up screen or whatever. Honestly, the future’s here but also kind of not.
These tech giants? They’re dreaming bigger, though. Full-on AR specs that throw digital fun stuff into your real-world view. Seeing virtual stuff while you’re standing in line for coffee? That’s where you’re heading. But they’re not there yet. Need better sensors, displays — you know, all the fancy tech gubbins and some patience.
And that’s the gist of it. Or at least as much as my half-focused ramble captured.
