A new report highlights the battery performance of Apple’s mixed reality glasses, a negative detail is that it will have a short duration.
Apple glasses are entering a decisive phase of development, the battery is a very important element. According to a new report from The Information, Apple engineers tested a version of the mixed reality headset with an internal battery. They also did this with an external battery connected via a cable. What is the problem? The eternal dilemma of battery life and other technical aspects.
How long will the Apple Glasses experience last?
According to the first tests battery life is very shorta duration of hours
The initial design of the glasses envisioned the use of an internal battery, it is a little complicated since it is necessary to offer an adequate control between weight, size, heat and power. Surprisingly, external battery tests were suggested at one point by Jony Ive, the company’s former head of design.
So far we know that glasses will have high power consumptionso that the battery will be easy for the user to change, allowing them to continue enjoying the experience for longer.
Some glasses with the highest technology
The ace integrated screens will allow a horizontal field of view of 120 degrees, each is micro-OLED developed by Sony and will offer a combined image in 8K. Curiously, the resolution will be higher than that of the Pro Display XDR.
About cameras there will be 12 in total to be able to detect all body movements
Its design will be a strong and attractive point. It will be a combination of an aluminum body with glass screens and carbon fiber elements.. It will have a digital crown to be able to activate or deactivate the experience.
In a tech specs leak, headbands were considered which could be swapped although they have already been discarded, now there will be two; one made of fluoroelastomer like the Apple Watch sports bands and the other to be able to have additional error protection functions.
Estimated release date and tentative price
They had been considered since last year although it did not happen. The announcement could come very soon because glasses are in the final stages of development in which tests are carried out with thousands of prototypes already manufactured. The price is also anyone’s guess, as it’s been suggested that this might be one of the most expensive accessories out there. The sale price would start around 3000 dollars.
Glasses that will allow coexistence with other Apple devices and that could use Continuity functions for Mac and iPhone. They should be able to run apps designed for iOS.
