Apple’s upcoming smart glasses will use Apple Watch level chips rather than iPhone processors, claims the Korean language site, EBN.
Instead of an A-series chip, Apple is purportedly considering the use of an Apple Watch System in Package. A likely candidate is the S10 chip, which uses a dual-core CPU and a four-core Neural Engine. This doesn’t offer iPhone-level performance (much less Vision Pro performance), but it would offer good battery life.
EBN says Apple sees the Apple Watch chip as the right balance between power and endurance. The S10 delivers enough compute for cameras, Siri, and on-device AI while using a fraction of the power, the article says.
About Apple Glasses
Apple is reportedly working on its own version of smart glasses, which most pundits have dubbed (of course) “Apple Glasses.”
In an X post, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple will release its own “smart glasses” in 2027. These will have a design more like traditional eyewear than the Apple Vision Pro.
Kuo says Apple will ship 3-5 million units or more of the device. He says core features will include audio playback, camera, video recording, and AI environmental sensing. Kue also thinks that Apple will offer multiple material options for frames and temples, with Apple actively testing 3D printing technology for production.
