According to investor notes from TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the augmented reality (AR) headset that Apple is presumed to be developing is very good (impossible). It has the performance of (maybe) and may appear in 2022. 9to5Mac got the memo. The memo says:
It has “Mac” level (PC level) processing power, can operate independently without relying on “Mac” (PC) or “iPhone” (smartphone), and (3) is not a specific application but a wide range. Support the application.
I don’t understand the reason. First of all, what is “Mac level” performance? Is it an Intel Mac or a Mac with “M1”? Or is it a Mac 10 years ago?
Let’s assume it has the same performance as the M1. It is the performance of “MacBook Air” and “iPad Pro” equipped with M1. Even if you remove the battery, screen, ports, and extra weight, you’ll have to put a lot of hardware into the AR glasses. You also need a smaller battery.
If Kuo said it was “iPhone-level,” my skepticism might have been somewhat suppressed. Still, the A-series “Bionic” chip is likely to be a significant piece of hardware if it’s mounted on a face-mounted device.
It would be a great achievement if it could be realized just by reducing the size to the size that is supposed to be worn on the face like an iPhone. Think about how much Apple had to compromise on the Apple Watch.
But Kuo seems to be very optimistic about the capabilities needed for AR glasses.
Apple’s AR headset requires a separate processor. This is because the processing power of the sensor is much higher than that of the iPhone. For example, AR headsets require at least 6-8 optical modules to simultaneously provide continuous video see-through AR services. The iPhone, on the other hand, requires up to three optical modules to run at the same time, and doesn’t require continuous computing.
