Apple does not use the iPhone chip in its smart glasses

Newly released reports from Apple’s product roadmap suggest that the tech giant is taking a different approach to the beating heart of its upcoming smart glasses. Cupertino engineers have concluded that using the powerful chips used in iPhones is not a good choice for a thin wearable gadget and could create serious thermal challenges. For this reason, it is likely that this new product will be launched with a completely different processor optimized for low energy consumption to maintain the balance between performance and charging.

According to Tekna technology news media, quoted by Bloomberg, analysts believe that the biggest obstacle in the development of Apple Smart Glasses is providing the required energy without increasing the weight of the device. If Apple wants to use mobile-class processors, it will have to install bulky batteries that destroy the ergonomic design of the glasses. As a result, the strategy of using dedicated chips that are very similar to the processor architecture of current wearable gadgets has been put on the agenda in order to reduce battery consumption and prevent the body of the device from overheating.

This strategic decision shows that the Cupertino smart glasses are not going to be a replacement for advanced headsets such as Vision Pro, but will be designed as a light accessory for everyday use. The main focus will be on displaying essential information and light interactions so that users can use it all day without worrying about running out of battery or being heavy on the face. The exact time for the unveiling of this product has not yet been announced, but evidence shows that the development team is in the final stages of testing this new hardware platform.
