Apple Is Making Its Own Chip for Smart Glasses Coming by 2027

Apple Smart Glasses

Apple is quietly engineering the next evolution in wearable technology with the development of its own custom chip for smart glasses.

According to multiple sources, the tech giant is working on a new processor internally codenamed N401, specifically tailored for its highly anticipated smart eyewear.

Apple’s in-house chip design journey began with the A-series chips in iPhones and continued with the M-series chips powering Macs and iPads. Now, Apple is extending this approach to wearable computing. The N401 chip is reportedly inspired by the S-series chips used in Apple Watches, optimized for ultra-low power consumption and compact size.

Unlike previous efforts focused on broad use cases, the N401 is a purpose-built chip. It is designed to efficiently manage the demands of camera systems, sensors, and real-time processing.

Key Features Expected in Apple’s Smart Glasses

The smart glasses, which are expected to launch between late 2026 and early 2027, are rumored to include

  • Multiple cameras for capturing photos and videos, and enabling computer vision features.
  • Microphones for hands-free communication and on-device voice commands.
  • Integrated AI capabilities for real-time translation, contextual information, and visual assistance.
  • Lightweight Design, thanks to energy-efficient silicon and minimal thermal output.

These features hint at a device that does far more than overlay information. It’s a wearable assistant capable of enhancing everyday interactions, navigating environments, and even capturing memories hands-free.

TSMC Partnership

Apple will reportedly continue its long-standing collaboration with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to fabricate the chips. Mass production is targeted to begin by late 2026, placing Apple on track to unveil the product in 2027.

Apple’s smart glasses are expected to compete directly with Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. Meta’s glasses already offer features like live translation and voice-powered assistance.

Besides Meta, Apple could also go up against companies like Google, Samsung, and even Snapchat. All of which have explored smart eyewear in some form. If successful, Apple’s smart glasses could eventually become a core product in its ecosystem, much like the iPhone and Apple Watch, ushering in a new wave of spatial computing and ambient AI.

While the first model may be limited in functionality compared to Apple’s Vision Pro headset, it could pave the way for lightweight, everyday augmented reality experiences.
