Apple Advances Smart Glasses Project with New Chip Development

Apple is making significant strides in the development of its first smart glasses, with a new chip in the works aimed at powering the device. Scheduled for completion by the end of 2027, these smart glasses are designed to compete directly with similar products like the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Apple's approach focuses on integrating its AI capabilities into the glasses, which will analyze the environment and provide users with relevant information without offering full augmented reality experiences. The project, codenamed N50, is part of Apple's broader strategy to innovate in the wearable technology space. While Meta is also aggressively pushing its smart glasses offerings, planning high-end releases by 2025, Apple's methodical approach is focused on delivering a user-friendly, privacy-conscious product. The upcoming smart glasses are expected to be more affordable and lighter than the Apple Vision Pro, aligning with Apple's tradition of combining sleek design with innovative technology.
