IPhone air looks like a wild overview for Arg Apple Glasses

Apple had a lot of announcements this week, but probably none was greater (and paradoxically more thin) than the iPhone air. On the one hand, there is the fact that it is Apple’s first phone with the brand “Air”, marking a new rare category of iPhone, both present and future. Then there is the fact that the iPhone air is very Thin – 5.64 mm to be exact. The main editor of Gizmodo, Consumer Tech, Raymond Wong, had time on time with iPhone air, and he says that it is as thin as it seems – even more thin than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, to be exact. Think Ozempic, but for iPhones.

But as exciting as it is all, it is not the novelty or even the slimming that turned its head – that’s what the iPhone Air says about the future. And to see this, you have to look at what’s going on inside.

It is a high signal of the future future.

For the context, the entire computer. Modems, antennas, everything you need to calculate on the iPhone Air is inside the camera bump.

The rest of the phone is the screen and the battery.

My thoughts.

If you’ve paid attention to X, you may have seen this image in your flow. This is the interior of the iPhone air you look at, and it is important for a reason. Do you see it all at the top? It is essentially the whole phone – or all the computing power, at least. Apple has managed to stuff essentially anything that makes its iPhone an iPhone (camera and calculation) in a small section at the top of the chassis. The rest of the phone? A large and very thin battery. It is an engineering feat, really, but beyond that, also a model for what Apple could do next.

There are a lot of implications to be able to pile up a powerful computer in a small space, but the one that intrigues me the most is a pair of AR glasses. Why Ar Lunes, in particular? Well, they are a perfect case of miniaturization that hinders a brilliant new future. It is not that we do not have the technology (in theory) so that the Glasses AR work – we can put screens in a display of glasses, we have applications and user interfaces, and cameras are smaller than ever – but it does all this in a shape factor that people are ready and ready to carry on their faces that launch a key to zero. We have to make things smaller if we want to think bigger. Note that, Apple Marketing.

It turns out that this is exactly what the iPhone Air does. He piles a powerful computer in a space that once felt too confined. And what makes me even more enthusiastic about miniaturization inside the iPhone Air is the fact that Apple has long been subjected to a pair of AR glasses.

In February, Mark Gurman de Bloomberg revised the previous affirmations that Apple ceased to develop AR glasses, signaling rather that she had killed a “stopgap product” which would have competed with intelligent Ray-Ban of Meta glasses. For me, it said that Apple is not disinterested in RA, only that he is waiting for him to have a product that really moves the needle – perhaps a pair of AR glasses that look like regular and weight glasses, but can always run applications and act as secondary screens for messaging, calls and navigation. You know, the ideal pair of smart glasses. With the miniaturization of iPhones and the computer inside, it seems that it is one more step of this objective, although there are other concerns to make a gadget of this caliber that iPhone air is not necessarily addressed.

One of these obstacles is the battery. Apple has done a good job of (at least on paper), which makes the iPhone air battery suitable for most people, saying that it lasts “all day”, which in this case means about 27 hours of offline video playback and 22 hours of streaming. That being said, he still took the trouble to release the air from the iPhone alongside a Magsafe battery that extends the battery of the phone. Maybe I read too much, but it seems to me that Apple could go ahead on something. This same problem could also extend to a pair of AR glasses.

Even if Apple could pile up a whole computer inside a pair of light glasses, all the execution should still be very effective, especially if there is a screen inside with high brightness, audio capacities and the possibility of running applications. All these things eat a battery and fast. This is to say that the narrowing of a computer is huge, but feeding the fucking thing is just as important. Even with this piece of potentially unresolved puzzle, it is difficult not to believe that Apple could make it work … possibly.

Barely a few years ago, we would have examined the idea of ​​an iPhone air and said: “No question.” It is not lasting enough; There is not enough battery; Moore’s law is dead; Yadda, Yadda. But here it is. A slim and light iPhone and even has the most powerful A19 Pro chip in Apple. If I were a Paris, I would bet that Apple is already looking for ways to go up this bet, improving the lifespan of the battery, the cameras and making its air as capable as its basic iPhone model. And who should I bet against them at this stage? Call me crazy, but if the iPhone air is an indication, my money is on a pair of AR ARP glasses that do everything-and maybe earlier than you think.
