What’s in a name? In the case of Apple-designed silicon, not much: from the A-series of chips designed for iPhones through to the M1 and new M2 chips, Apple’s only revision to each new name is updating the number.
So, when Mark Gurman of Bloomberg says he expects that Apple’s mixed reality headset will use the M2 chip—which lines up with what The Information’s Wayne Ma reported last month—and that Apple is already working on an "M3" successor, you might ask yourself what that will actually mean for the experience of Apple’s headset. In broad strokes, assuming Apple launches the headset by early next year, that means the headset will utilize one of the best chips Apple has upon its release. What going with M2 means for performance and battery life, however, requires a bit more analysis and some details we won’t know until after launch.
