Apple AAPPL.O is developing specialized fleas that will fuel future devices, including its first smart glasses, artificial intelligence servers and new MacBooks, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.
The manufacturer of the iPhone has made progress on the chip he develops for smart glasses, said the report, citing people who know the case.
This indicates that Apple redoubles efforts to compete with the popular Ray-Ban glasses offered by Meta Platformms
Meta.o.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
Other processors under development will serve as brains for future Macs as well as artificial intelligence servers capable of fueling the Apple Intelligence platform, according to the report.
-To try to compete on the AI lucrative market, Apple has endeavored to add AI functions to its latest range of iphones with Apple Intelligence – a suite that makes it possible to summarize notifications, rewrite emails and give users access to the Openai Chatgpt, among other functions.
The company has already made progress in the development of its own silicon and, in February, it unveiled its first personalized modem chip which connects iPhones to wireless data networks.
The processor of his glasses is based on chips used in the Apple Watch which require less energy than the components of products such as the iPhone, the iPad and the Mac, indicates the report.
The chip, which could come into mass production by the end of next year or in 2027, was personalized to improve energy efficiency and to control the multiple cameras provided for glasses, Bloomberg reported.
The chip will be manufactured by the Taiwanese company TSMC
2330.TW and the glasses – if they succeed – should be marketed in the next two years, adds the report.
Apple also works on several new Mac chips, including processors that will probably be known as M6 and M7, according to the report.
