New leak sheds light on Apple’s secretive ‘smart glasses’ project

New leak sheds light on Apple's secretive 'smart glasses' project

Over the weekend, a Reddit user with the handle Foxconninsider released a treasure trove of information regarding a number of new products Apple has in the pipeline. While most of the Reddit AMA seemed to focus on upcoming iPhones and an assortment of Mac hardware, there was also some interesting information divulged regarding Apple's rumored smart glasses.

The notion that Apple has been exploring smart glasses with augmented reality features is certainly nothing new. On the contrary, in recent months we've seen a handful of reports from exceedingly credible sources indicating that Apple's smart glasses initiative is very much real. Not too long ago, for example, the Financial Times -- which has a solid track record with respect to Apple rumors -- published a report claiming that Apple was interested in taking its smart glasses project "from a science project towards a consumer product."

All the while, other reports have relayed that Apple's AR team continues to grow and now includes hundreds of researchers and engineers with varying experience in relevant fields like head-mounted displays, optics and more. What's more, it's also been reported that many of Apple's AR engineers previously worked on Facebook's Oculus Rift and Microsoft's HoloLens headset.

Suffice it to say, Apple's exploration into the field of smart glasses is very real. With that said, the purported Foxconn insider divulged an extensive amount of new information about the ultra-secretive project. With the AMA now closed, we went back and scoured every question and answer we could find about Apple's mythical smart glasses. Of course, everything should be taken with a requisite grain of salt, but that's simply par for the course in the world of Apple rumors.

With the standard disclaimer out of the way, let's get this thing rolling.

According to Foxconninsider, Apple's smart glasses -- at least in its current incarnation -- uses a prism to convey an image to the lens with a resolution of 428x240. As far as interacting with the device itself, Apple's smart glasses are outfitted with a microphone for Siri control and an accelerometer that can presumably register commands when a user moves his or her head in a certain direction. Additionally, it features a "small capacitive strip" for accepting calls and adjusting the volume.

Interestingly, the current Apple smart glasses reportedly do not include a camera due to design and battery life considerations. The product can house both polarized and prescription lenses and, if ever released, will be available in different sizes for both men and women. Some of the colored frames Foxconninsider claims to have seen include crystal, champagne, and black.

Based on the bill of materials, the Foxconninsider believes Apple's smart glasses might cost as much as $600.

Kopin NED Acetate frame Polarisized or prescription lens with Zeiss smart optics Bone induction modules Microphones (noise cancellation) Light sensor Accelerometer for step tracking and head movement app navigation Magnetometer for navigation Capacitive Pavel Ceramic battery Apple chipset Charging circuit BL5 Induction module

The million dollar question, though, is whether or not the current prototype will ever become a viable and shipping product. To this point, our fearless leaker claims that there's a 65% chance the entire smart glasses project might be scrapped altogether.

When asked why we should even care about Apple smart glasses, the leaker said that it is a very unique design and that "if it can be done properly" it will "be like what the iPhone did 10 years ago."

When asked how she came up with the 65% figure, the leaker answered: "Yield rate and amount of other products they scrap in new areas. Apple experiments a lot, 65% of these products never reach consumers." She later added that manufacturing a flexible battery is difficult at scale and that the device's display prism also has some technical hurdles Apple has to contend with.

Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitaries take Baaj town west of Mosul from Islamic State: army

Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitaries take Baaj town west of Mosul from Islamic State: armyBy Maher Chmaytelli BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Shi'ite paramilitaries have captured the Iraqi town of Baaj from Islamic State, further shrinking the northern region under jihadist control as part of a U.S.-backed campaign to retake the city of Mosul, the Iraqi military said on Sunday. Eight months into the Mosul offensive, Islamic State (IS) militants have been dislodged from all of the city except an enclave along the western bank of the Tigris river. IS's grip on the Iraqi side of the northern region along the border with Syria, a desert area where Iraqi and U.S. sources believe IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is hiding, has been ebbing as forces fighting on the side of Iraq's government have advanced.

Bahrain bans newspaper for 'sowing division'

Bahrain bans newspaper for 'sowing division'The government in Sunni-ruled Bahrain announced Sunday an indefinite ban on the independent Al-Wasat newspaper on accusations that it publishes "what sows division" in the Shiite-majority Gulf kingdom. The order was due to Al-Wasat's "violation of the law and repeatedly publishing what sows division in the society and affects Bahrain's relations with other states," BNA said. The decision came after the paper published an article on Sunday that was "offensive to a sisterly Arab state," BNA said, in an apparent reference to an article that praised protests in Morocco.

After London attack, Facebook says aims to be 'hostile environment' for terrorists

After London attack, Facebook says aims to be 'hostile environment' for terroristsFacebook said it wanted to make its social media platform a "hostile environment" for terrorists in a statement issued after attackers killed seven people in London and prompted Prime Minister Theresa May to demand action from internet firms. Three attackers drove a hired van into pedestrians on London Bridge and stabbed others nearby on Saturday night in Britain's third major militant attack in recent months. May responded to the attack by calling for an overhaul of the strategy used to combat extremism, including a demand for greater international regulation of the internet, saying big internet companies were partly responsible for providing extreme ideology the space to develop.

Fresh battle ends bid to free civilians in war-torn Philippine cityEfforts to rescue up to 2,000 civilians trapped by fighting between troops and Islamist militants in a southern Philippine city failed Sunday when a proposed truce ended in a hail of gunfire and explosions, authorities and witnesses said. The civilians were pinned down nearly two weeks ago in the centre of Marawi on Mindanao island, where gunmen loyal to the Islamic State group are holding out against a military assault. Local authorities said government officials, working through intermediaries, had reached agreement with the militants to observe a four-hour ceasefire Sunday to let the trapped civilians leave.

Booming Malta to deliver verdict on scandal-hit PMMaltese voters head to the polls Saturday to deliver their verdict on a government hit by corruption allegations linked to the Panama papers scandal, but fortified by a booming economy. The election battle has been dominated by the fallout from last year's massive data leak from Panama's Mossack Fonseca law firm.

People are going to pay $880 for this ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Galaxy S8, sadly

People are going to pay $880 for this 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Galaxy S8, sadly

No, it's not the pink version that was leaked earlier this week. It's a Galaxy S8 version made for pirates.

The Galaxy S8 is a tremendous success for Samsung, selling even better than the previous model. But that doesn't mean that Samsung doesn't have more marketing tricks to sell even more units this year.

A Galaxy S8 Pirates of the Caribbean Special Edition is such a trick. This isn't the first time Samsung partnered with movie studios to launch special edition handsets, so it's definitely not surprising to see Samsung target one of the blockbuster movies of the year for the handset. But unfortunately for you, you can't buy it just yet.

As GizmoChina explains, the special edition model is currently available on JD.com for the time being, priced at around $880.

Unlike regular models, the Pirates Edition ships in a special treasure chest box. The package also includes a protective case and a special holder. Furthermore, when you turn the phone on, you'll see a Dead Men Tell No Tales theme on it. Unfortunately, the phone itself isn't adorned with any Pirates markings. On the other hand, given how easily the Galaxy S8's glass can break, you'd be better off using the special case that comes with the handset.

Other than the Pirates-inspired visuals, there aren't any changes. The phone packs 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, which makes it a regular Galaxy S8. It's unclear whether the bigger Galaxy S8+ will also receive a similar treatment.

Early use of J&J's Zytiga extends prostate cancer survivalBy Deena Beasley CHICAGO (Reuters) - Adding Johnson & Johnson's Zytiga to standard hormone therapy reduced by nearly 40 percent the chance of death for men newly diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer that had spread to other parts of the body, according to new trial results. The data, which supports expanding the drug's use to earlier stages of prostate cancer, is "likely to change clinical practice overnight," said Dr Richard Shilsky, chief medical officer at the American Society of Clinical Oncology, which featured the studies on Saturday at its annual meeting in Chicago. J&J is already seeking European Union approval in the earlier treatment setting, but is still considering whether to pursue U.S. approval.
