Apple’s silicon design group is pushing ahead with new custom chips intended for a range of future devices, including the company’s first smart glasses, more powerful Macs, and dedicated AI servers, according to a recent Bloomberg report.
The company has reportedly made progress on the processor for its smart glasses, indicating increased focus on developing such a wearable. This device would likely compete with existing smart spectacles like those from Meta Platforms. The silicon team’s work has become central to Apple’s product strategy, particularly since the shift away from Intel processors for its Macs began in 2020. Other chip development efforts detailed in the report target future Mac models and the infrastructure needed to power the Apple Intelligence platform.

As an employee of DOGE, Schutt accessed FEMA’s proprietary software for managing both disaster and non-disaster funding grants. Under his role at CISA, he likely is privy to sensitive information regarding the security of civilian federal government networks and critical infrastructure throughout the US.
