A report from Blockonomi is raising a provocative question for investors and gadget watchers: could Apple and Nvidia be quietly working with display-chip maker Himax Technologies (ticker: HIMX) on AI-powered smart glasses?
According to Blockonomi, the speculation centers on whether the two American tech giants are "secret partners" behind a broader push into AI glasses, with Himax positioned as a supplier in that effort. The framing is posed as an open question rather than a confirmed deal.
It's worth being clear about what the source does — and does not — establish. Blockonomi presents the Apple-Nvidia-Himax link as a possibility tied to Himax's stock, not as an announced partnership. No specific product, timeline, financial terms, or official confirmation from any of the three companies appears in the source material provided.
Himax is a Taiwan-based company known for display driver and imaging technologies, the kind of components that matter for compact wearable screens. Any credible tie to Apple or Nvidia would naturally draw attention to a smaller supplier's shares, which is the angle the report emphasizes.
Why it matters: smart glasses are shaping up as the next major battleground in consumer tech, and even unconfirmed rumors about which giants are backing which suppliers can move stocks and signal where the industry thinks the market is heading — so readers should treat this as speculation to watch, not established fact.
